Chapter 989 Battle with the Night Emperor
"You actually think he will come back?" Ye Di was really interested now.
Human nature cannot stand the test. Ye Di believes that when facing life and death, Zhou Wen will never come back.
Ye Di really wanted to see the disappointed expressions of Li Xuan, Hui Haifeng and others, so he did not rush to let the dimensional creatures launch an attack. He wanted Li Xuan and others to slowly feel the process from hope to disappointment, and then from disappointment to despair.
But not long after, Ye Di suddenly discovered that a figure was rapidly approaching Guihai City from a distance, and that figure was Zhou Wen who had returned.
Zhou Wen didn't really run away before. He just wanted to test whether Ye Di would really let him go or if he had some other conspiracy.
When Zhou Wen was sure that he had really escaped and Ye Di did not chase him, he turned around and rushed back.
Li Xuan, Hui Haifeng and Yaer were all trapped in it. Zhou Wen was unwilling to give up while he still had the ability to do something.
Yaer was very happy when she saw Zhou Wen flying back.
Hui Haiji and Li Xuan's expressions were very solemn. Zhou Wen's return meant that they needed to fight desperately. No matter what they could do, no matter how insignificant it was, as long as it could play a slight role in the battle situation, they would try their best to do it.
"What are you doing back?" Ye Di asked Zhou Wen with interest.
"I left something here, come back and take my things away." Zhou Wen said.
"What did you lose?" asked Ye Di.
"People from Guihai City." Zhou Wenchi said.
"Are they your relatives and friends?" asked Ye Di.
"No, it's everyone in Guihai City." Zhou Wen said seriously.
"Are you challenging my patience?" Ye Di's voice turned cold. As he spoke, darkness once again swallowed up the area outside Guihai City, bringing Zhou Wen into the darkness again.
He felt his body immersed in darkness again. The Night Emperor seemed to be everywhere, existing in every corner of the darkness, but Zhou Wen did not feel panic at all.
Since he dared to come back, he certainly wouldn't come back to die without thinking. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had already thought of some ways and he wanted to give them a try.
"Absolute defense can only last for half an hour at most, but that is only a theoretical time. Under a powerful attack, due to excessive consumption, the absolute defense can only last for a shorter time. If I attack with all my strength, you will die in less than ten minutes. To be honest, I don't want that to happen." Ye Di said.
"You can try and see if you can kill me within ten minutes." Zhou Wen seemed to have made up his mind and was not afraid of Ye Di's threat at all.
"Originally I didn't want to kill you, but since you insist on seeking death, it is difficult for me to keep a dying person in this world." When Ye Di spoke, the shadowy figure seemed to disappear, and Zhou Wen's listening ears could no longer hear any information related to Ye Di.
“Now we must find a way to break through the darkness and find the Night Emperor’s true body before the absolute defensive ability of the Star Dragon Armor disappears. Otherwise, we won’t even be able to touch the Night Emperor’s true body, and there is no possibility of killing or seriously injuring him.
Ding ding ding ding!
The Night Emperor’s people couldn’t see it, but blades as dark as the night appeared mysteriously from all directions, like invisible knives of darkness, cutting into Zhou Wen’s body.
Zhou Wen's body was cut and he retreated repeatedly, but he could not see where Ye Di was at all. He was like a ghost in the dark, omnipresent, but he had no real body, and he could not be seen no matter how hard he looked.
"Even creatures at the terror level cannot be completely without a body. Whether it's the Ice Girl or the Yin Fu King, they all have their real bodies. The Night Emperor must also have his real body, but I just haven't found it. Where is his real body?" Zhou Wen used Di Ting to listen to the surroundings again, but still found nothing. Even when the Night Emperor attacked him, Zhou Wen could not feel the Night Emperor's presence.
"How did they do that?" Zhou Wen couldn't figure it out, so he could only give it a try.
The invisible knife in the darkness slashed at Zhou Wen's back again. Zhou Wen didn't even turn his head, but directly summoned a sword and slashed at his back with his backhand.
The sword was blazing with red flames, and it was the Bronze Sparrow Sword that he had just obtained not long ago.
The fire from the Bronze Sparrow Sword illuminated the area around Zhou Wen, but it was only within a very close range. It was still dark farther away.
The bright light of the flame was unable to completely drive away the darkness, nor could the Night Emperor be found nearby. A strange black hand shadow rushed out from Zhou Wen's shadow and directly slashed Zhou Wen's thigh.
Fortunately, the armor of the Star Armored Dragon blocked the attack, otherwise Zhou Wen’s legs would have been cut off.
Zhou Wen's body slid out in the darkness. Although he was protected by the absolute defense and could not really be hurt, the pain from his legs made Zhou Wen clearly know that the effect of the absolute defense was weakening.
Fighting against someone who is invisible and intangible but can hurt or even kill you is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing.
Although this attack did not work, it does not mean that it is really useless. At least Zhou Wen has discovered that the light emitted by the flame does have some effect on the darkness.
It was just a mythical flame, and the range it could illuminate was only a three-foot radius outside the Bronze Sparrow Sword. The range it could illuminate was very limited.
Also, the Night Emperor seemed to be able to walk only in the dark, and the attack just now was launched from the dark shadow illuminated by the light.
Zhou Wen tried to use the Bronze Sparrow Sword to attack from different directions, but naturally he failed to hurt the Night Emperor. However, he was certain that the Night Emperor had to be in the dark to launch his omnipresent attacks, and had never appeared in the light.
Now Zhou Wen was probably certain that even if Ye Di could launch an attack in the light, he would no longer be able to hide his body.
If you want to defeat the Night Emperor, you have to put him in the light.
However, the light from the Bronze Sparrow Sword was not enough to illuminate all parts of Zhou Wen's body. Even if it was bright enough, there would still be shadows, and where there were shadows there would be darkness. The Night Emperor could still attack Zhou Wen through the shadows.
"External light is useless unless my own body can glow. This doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for me." Zhou Wen thought of his own soul, the Ancient Human Emperor.
As long as he merges with the Ancient Human Emperor, he can become a human-shaped sun-like existence. However, no one knows how far the Ancient Human Emperor's light can shine.
However, even a distance of only one foot is enough. In the absence of any dark blind spots, if Ye Di enters this foot of distance to attack, his real body should be visible.
