Volume 6 Chapter 81: The Final Battle Begins (10)

Outside "Black Glory Valley," under Mingluo’s command, four elite teams were summoned from deep within the mountain. They joined the higher-ups in a relentless attack on the dark mist, doubling the intensity of their strikes.

Under such fierce attacks, the black mist finally began to stir, gradually showing signs of disturbance. Inside the mist, the demon started to recover its strength quickly, though the speed of its recovery began to slow down.

Sensing the change in recovery speed, everyone in the "An" organization felt a surge of spirit. As time went on, the attacks that had been dwindling became fiercely intense once more.

However, although the black mist churned violently under the assault, there were still no signs of it dissipating. It seemed to be fading, but at a very slow pace. Inside the mist, the demonic energy’s recovery speed had considerably slowed, yet it continued to recover steadfastly.

In the midst of offense and defense, magical powers released sparkled with brilliance, dazzling and beautiful, yet vanishing in an instant. Everything continued in this busy and tense atmosphere, as time silently flowed by like a gentle breeze or flowing water.

…

Five days later.

The black mist had almost completely dissipated, losing over nine-tenths of its volume due to the fierce attacks. Yet, it still silently guarded a few feet around the demon. The sound of magical powers cutting through the black mist and the demon’s pained groans became clearly audible.

Success was so close, but the people in the "An" organization showed signs of giving up. The aura of the demon had clearly returned to its peak and was still growing stronger. Even after suffering a great blow, its power was increasing again.

The demon could strike back at any moment, so the group’s desire to attack faded. Instead, they looked around with worried eyes, thinking about how to deal with the demon if it returned.

In these five days, many members of the "An" organization urged Mingluo to inform Zhang Xusheng, who was in seclusion. Although they were many, they still felt uncertain about facing this demon.

After a long time, Mingluo watched the black mist start to swirl, while the demon’s power became even more powerful. He sighed softly, knowing he could not stop the demon from returning. He raised his hand, and everyone stopped their attack, looking on guard at the swirling black mist.

"Fortunately, the Human Level defense formation has been repaired. Otherwise, the chance of defeating this demon would be very small."

Mingluo looked at the intensifying black mist and thought to himself.

"Elite teams, hurry back to avoid being killed by the demon. The rest of you, join me to form the ‘Tian Sha formation’ and combine it with the Human Level defense formation to defeat this demon here."

Mingluo spoke loudly.

As Mingluo’s voice fell, the four elite teams, totaling eighty people, let out a sigh of relief and rushed back into the mountain, not wanting to stay near the demon for even a moment longer. Meanwhile, other high-ranking members of the "An" organization moved quickly to join Mingluo in forming the "Tian Sha formation," surrounding the black mist with nervous expressions.

After Mingluo flew to his position, he sat cross-legged in the air and swallowed several pills to restore Spirit Qi, calmly meditating to recover.

After five full days of continuous attacks, even Mingluo felt the Spirit Qi in his body was greatly depleted, putting him at a severe disadvantage for the upcoming battle.

Seeing Mingluo’s actions, the other members of the "An" organization reacted as well. Like Mingluo, they sat cross-legged in the air, swallowing a large amount of pills to restore Spirit Qi, trying to recover before the monsters came back.

Although Mingluo appeared calm, he was feeling very unsettled. At this moment, it truly was the most difficult time for the "An" organization since its founding. They were blocked at their doorstep by a monster that seemed to have no mind, suffering losses they could do nothing about. Even as a high-ranking member of the "An" organization, they could only hold off the monster, struggling to maintain a standstill.

"If the boss hadn’t gone into seclusion, we wouldn’t be in such a situation."

Mingluo sighed inwardly.

Mingluo always knew that the "An" organization could not function without Zhang Xusheng. Even though Zhang Xusheng had always used the "An" organization, at that moment, Mingluo had a clear understanding of Zhang Xusheng’s importance to them.

If Zhang Xusheng had not gone into seclusion right now, not to mention that his strength could easily subdue the monster before them, even if Zhang Xusheng didn’t take action, would the members of the "An" organization be so frightened facing a monster? As long as Zhang Xusheng was there, even knowing they would be charging to their deaths, most members would rush in without hesitation. But without Zhang Xusheng, they lost not only their backbone but also their courage and spirit to resist the strong.

Just as Mingluo was lost in thought, a fierce roar suddenly erupted from the black mist. With that roar, the mist before them was suddenly shaken apart, dissipating into the air. Everyone was startled and quickly stood up, looking at the monster reappearing in front of them with a wary expression.

After five days of recovery, the original skeleton had returned to the demon’s first appearance, as if its body had been torn apart and stitched back together, covered in strange eyes, with a long, spiked sword tail glowing with dark red light, and eerie dual eyes…

In that moment, the demon seemed as if it had never been injured, just like before, but its aura was even more intense and dangerous…

Could it be that this demon became even stronger after suffering a great injury?

Just as the mood of the crowd sank, the demon slowly scanned the seventeen people surrounding it, then suddenly let out another roar and charged toward Mingluo first!

As the demon charged, countless eyes on its body flickered with ghostly light, and the long sword tail behind it became a dark shadow, attacking Mingluo with overwhelming force.

But Mingluo remained extremely calm, watching the demon get closer and coldly said, "Tian Sha."

As Mingluo’s voice fell, the other sixteen members of the "An" organization formed hand signs, and the seventeen of them created a circle, each surrounded by thick black mist, their presence becoming almost intangible within the fog.

However, while the aura of the other sixteen quickly diminished, Mingluo’s aura instantly surged, blood filling his eyes as his body gradually swelled.

In the blink of an eye, the demon had charged within a hundred feet of Mingluo, its countless strange eyes shining brightly, and various magical powers suddenly appeared around it. But instead of attacking indiscriminately like before, they gathered together in an instant, forming a multi-colored beam of violent light that, with a thunderous roar, shot toward Mingluo like lightning.

The attack that should have erupted within a hundred feet has now gathered into one point, increasing its power by three or four times.

However, Mingluo, who previously had no choice but to wait for his defeat against such an attack, did not dodge or avoid it this time. Instead, his eyes sparkled with light as he shouted, "Come on!" Then, his hand gestures changed, and a dazzling rainbow of seven colors suddenly appeared between his fingers, rushing towards the beam of light coming from the demon.

"Boom…"

In the blink of an eye, the seven-colored beam collided with the multi-colored light column, creating a terrifying roar that shook the heavens and earth. The two forces seemed equal, both annihilating each other, causing waves of spatial distortion in "Black Glory Valley," which took a long time to return to normal.

In the aftermath of the explosion, both Mingluo and the demon were forced back dozens of feet before they finally stopped. Mingluo had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, while the demon, despite having lost its mind, stared at Mingluo with a look of disbelief, unable to stop watching him.

Taking advantage of the demon’s daze, Mingluo quickly flew back to his position, where the black mist swirled around him again.

Although the demon had lost its sanity, it still clearly remembered that this annoying "helper of Xu Qingfan" had previously been far weaker than itself. Even though it had been heavily injured by him, it was only because of the power of the formation, and Mingluo’s own strength was like that of an ant to it. How could he suddenly possess strength to match it, even making it suffer a bit?

In fact, the "Tian Sha Formation" is a very famous formation in the evil path, known for its greatest strength, which allows the person who sets it up to merge their entire power into one person’s body. This means that the demon was not just fighting against Mingluo alone, but against the combined strength of seventeen high-ranked members of the "An" organization.

After being dazed for a moment, the demon roared in defiance and charged at Mingluo again, but the result was the same, as it was pushed back by the combined force of the seventeen.

After many failed attempts, the monster was eager to take revenge on Xu Qingfan, no longer fighting directly with Mingluo but instead attacking the other sixteen people. Killing Xu Qingfan was the most urgent task; the others could wait.

Unfortunately, the result was still the same.

The monster became even more irritable, while the members of the "An" organization couldn’t do anything to stop it for the time being. Although the "Tian Sha" formation was powerful, it put great pressure on their bodies. If the monster were more patient and kept attacking Mingluo, after many attempts, Mingluo would likely die from the strain.

Thus, in this deadlock of attacks, both sides slowly consumed their strength, and it unknowingly passed six or seven more days.

On this day, when the monster’s furious emotions reached their peak, the masters of the Righteous Alliance finally arrived outside the "Black Glory Valley."
