Suddenly, the faceless black shadow also began to move. Its entire body moved like flowing water, quickly slipping into the narrow gap between Lan Yue and the others and the mysterious figure. It passed by them at an extremely fast speed and headed straight for Chi Chen's location.
"Damn it, we can't let him get past!"
Upon seeing this, Lan Yue immediately withdrew, his face turning pale beneath the mask. He unleashed the full power of his "Misalignment" technique, sending dozens of attacks crashing down behind him. Simultaneously, Lan Yue vanished from his spot, reappearing a second later behind the figureless black shadow. Along with him came the long sword stained with green blood in Lan Yue's hand.
As Lan Yue brought down her long sword, the formless black shadow didn't even glance back at her, as if it wasn't afraid of Lan Yue splitting it in two with a single strike.
"Um?"
The moment the longsword touched the body of the formless black shadow, Lan Yue's expression changed. His longsword did indeed cut into the body of the formless black shadow, but it seemed to have caused no damage whatsoever.
The feeling emanating from Blue Moon's palm was like a long sword being plunged into flowing water; you could slightly slow down the flow, but you couldn't completely stop its advance.
"boom!"
At the same time, Orange Star's cannonballs also struck in front of the Shadowless One, but under the firelight, they were unable to slow down the Shadowless One's advance.
"Huang Feng!"
Lan Yue shouted, and Huang Feng in the distance immediately shattered an earthen dragon. Then, in the direction that Wu Xiang Black Shadow was advancing, an earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground.
However, the formless black shadow adhered to the surface of the earthen wall and rose up, actually trying to cross the wall directly. This made Lan Yue's expression change again. Even he had never seen such a ghostly thing before.
"Captain, I can't stop him!"
In an instant, Huang Feng shattered another earthen dragon, and the height of the earthen wall continued to increase, but the speed of the formless black shadow became faster and faster, even exceeding the speed at which the earthen wall was lifted. Even though Huang Feng tried his best to block it, the formless black shadow still managed to pass directly over the earthen wall.
"Boom boom boom!"
The earthen wall crumbled, and Lan Yue's figure reappeared behind the formless black shadow. At this moment, they were not far from Chi Chen and the others.
"Quickly, take them and escape!"
Lan Yue continuously swung her long sword, slightly slowing down the progress of the formless black shadow. In the sky, Qing Yun also summoned a whirlwind, attempting to engulf the formless black shadow, but the formless black shadow simply passed through the whirlwind and rushed towards Chi Chen at an undiminished speed.
On the plaza, as the mysterious group went berserk, even the instructors were struggling to hold them off. However, they held their ground and prevented the mysterious group from rushing towards Chi Chen and the others.
On the battlefield, with the sudden sacrifice of the god general, the scales of victory seemed to be tipping towards the Heretic Forbidden Zone.
"Get out of my way!"
Zhu Cheng clashed with Wen Xiong in front of him and roared angrily with a grim expression.
Their strengths were roughly equal, and although both had expended considerable energy in the battle, neither had been able to gain the upper hand.
"Heh heh, Zhu Cheng, you're not getting over there!"
Wenxiong clung to Zhucheng relentlessly. Although Wenxiong didn't know why the divine general had suddenly gone mad and wanted to sacrifice himself, he wanted to see Zhucheng and the others suffer a fatal blow. However, Wenxiong vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"It's a fluctuation; that earth-shattering battle fluctuation has disappeared!"
Suddenly, Wen Xiong realized what was happening and looked up at the distant horizon. Even though they were far apart before, he could still feel the earth-shattering battle fluctuations there. But now, all he could hear was silence.
Wenxiong looked again at the heretical and forbidden people in the monastery who seemed to have gone mad, and a very bad premonition came to him.
"Could it be that Deputy Commander Duan Tian and that god from the Heretic Forbidden Zone were defeated? Who was it that could defeat them both?"
Wenxiong unconsciously swallowed, feeling that his guess should be correct. After all, the image that the heretical taboo was showing now was very much like the last madness of someone who had nowhere else to turn.
Thinking of this, Wenxiong took a deep look at the situation on the square. Although they seemed to have a great advantage now, he knew that the key to their victory or defeat on this battlefield still lay in the earth-shattering battle over there.
If Duan Tianzhen had already been defeated as he had anticipated, then once the person who could defeat Duan Tianzhen arrived, they would all be nothing more than ants.
"Walk!"
Wenxiong gritted his teeth, glanced at Zhu Cheng with some resentment, and decisively withdrew from the battlefield. He had participated in this rebellion for future wealth and glory, not to throw his life away. Even if it was just his own speculation, Wenxiong did not want to gamble with his life.
"Um?"
Zhu Cheng looked at Wen Xiong, who had been clinging to him just a second ago, but now suddenly distanced himself and headed towards the edge of the battlefield. A look of confusion appeared on his face. However, Zhu Cheng's mind was completely focused on the formless black shadow, and he didn't have time to think too much. Wen Xiong's retreat was exactly what he wanted.
Although Zhu Cheng also wanted to kill Wen Xiong, the most important thing at the moment was to ensure the safety of Chi Chen and the others.
After watching Wen Xiong's figure disappear into the forest and confirming that he had no other intentions, Zhu Cheng turned around, wielding his long sword, and chased after the figureless black shadow at top speed.
On the other side, Pang Feng and the others led Chi Chen. Lin Bai and the other newcomers kept retreating, but unfortunately, the newcomers had consumed too much energy earlier, which greatly slowed down their retreat speed. Under such circumstances, how could they keep up with the increasingly fast-moving Wuxiang Black Shadow?
In just a moment, the formless black shadow caught up with the group.
"What the hell is that thing?!"
Chi Chen frowned as he looked at the formless black shadow. Sensing the other party locking onto his aura, he knew that the other party was still after him.
Why?
First, there was the wolf-shaped mystery that was being manipulated, and then there were the gods of this heretical forbidden place; they all had their eyes on him.
Before I awakened my spiritual power, I was just an ordinary person.
Even if I performed reasonably well after awakening my abilities, it shouldn't be enough to attract the attention of these people so quickly, right?
"Is it because of that white light five years ago? Or because of the mysterious scar on my chest?"
Chi Chen looked down at his chest; now, this was the only explanation.
"What about my parents and Lin Bai's mother?"
Suddenly, Chi Chen's expression froze, and then a complicated look appeared in his eyes. If it was really as he guessed, was the appearance of the Ghost-Faced Demon King five years ago really just a coincidence?
Was Lin Bai's mother's death truly an accident?
Chi Chen glanced at Lin Bai with a complicated expression. Could his mother have died because of him?
"What's wrong, Chi Chen?"
Lin Bai, who had been watching the approaching black shadows with a tense expression, suddenly seemed to sense something was wrong with Chi Chen and turned to look at his friend.
"N-nothing!"
Chi Chen spoke, but did not reveal his thoughts. Everything was still undecided, but if he had really implicated Lin Bai's mother, Chi Chen would choose to tell Lin Bai the truth.
Chi Chen didn't know how Lin Bai would treat him after he found out, but if it was really because of him that Lin Bai's mother died, Chi Chen believed that Lin Bai had the right to know the truth.
"I hope the truth isn't what I think!"
Chi Chen sighed inwardly, then temporarily banished his random thoughts.
"Great Sage, are you there? Great Sage?"
Chi Chen kept calling out to the monkey in his heart. No one could stop that formless black shadow now, so he could only place his hopes on the monkey.
Just as Chi Chen was trying to communicate with the monkey, Pang Feng and the others standing in front of Chi Chen and the others also encountered the formless black shadow.
"The virtual realm unfolds!"
Pang Feng let out a low shout, and the Void Realm appeared, directly enveloping the Formless Black Shadow.
"There's hope?!"
Yu Shou watched the formless black shadow disappear from his sight, and looked at Pang Feng with delight. When the Void Realm unfolded, if Pang Feng did not share his vision with everyone, the others would not be able to see the formless black shadow in the Void Realm.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Pang Feng was about to smile, thinking that his taboo was just right to restrain the formless black shadow. But the next moment, in front of everyone, a pool of black substance flowed out like liquid from a pitch-black crack that appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant it gathered into the shape of the formless black shadow.
Seeing this, everyone used their forbidden abilities to attack the formless black shadow, but without exception, apart from slightly slowing down the black shadow's speed, they could not stop its advance at all.
"Fortunately, this thing didn't show too much fighting power!"
No sooner had Pang Feng finished speaking than, in the next second, to his astonishment, Yu Shou's hands shoved him, pushing him away from his spot.
At the same time, Yu Shou used a forbidden technique, and several mysterious figures appeared in front of him, attempting to block the several pitch-black spikes that suddenly shot out from the formless black shadow.
"Puff puff puff!"
In the blink of an eye, the mysterious creatures were pierced by the black spikes and vanished into smoke. The black spikes, however, continued their speed as they pierced through Yu Shou's body, and then through the bodies of two instructors who were unable to dodge in time, before disappearing again.
Several sprays of blood flew up in the square, instantly shocking everyone present.
"May you live long!"
Pang Feng screamed wildly, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, as he watched helplessly as his friend of many years slowly collapsed to the ground.
The sight of the three figures dying instantly in the square filled everyone with rage.
"You damned thing, I'll fight you to the death!"
Pang Feng drew his long sword and charged fiercely towards the formless black shadow.
All of this happened in less than half a minute. At the same time, Zhu Cheng and Lan Yue arrived behind the figure of Wu Xiang, both of them angrily raising their long swords.
"Great Sage, come out quickly! Great Sage, you damned monkey!"
Seeing Yu Shou and the other two instructors die instantly, Chi Chen's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Perhaps it was an angry roar in his heart, but in his anger, he actually shouted "Dead monkey!"
"Boy, what are you yelling about? What happened again? I possessed you earlier, and my already limited power was further reduced, so I fell into a deep sleep!"
Finally, the monkey's voice echoed in Chi Chen's mind. The monkey was initially annoyed that Chi Chen had called him a "dead monkey," but when he "saw" everything happening outside, he gave up on the national treasure that was already on his lips.
"Great Sage, no matter what attack we use, we can't hurt that monster, and I feel like it's coming for me!"
Chi Chen briefly explained the situation.
"It's not that you can't harm him, but that the damage you inflict on him isn't enough to kill him outright! That little demon possesses an indestructible quality; as long as you can't inflict damage exceeding what his indestructible quality can withstand in one go, he can quickly recover!"
The monkey's voice rang out, instantly revealing the characteristics of the formless black shadow.
"Instructor Zhu Cheng, Lan Yue, everyone, attack that formless black shadow together! It possesses the characteristic of immortality, and we need to deal damage exceeding its capacity in one go to destroy it!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Chen immediately roared. Zhu Cheng and Lan Yue glanced at Chi Chen. Although they didn't know how Chi Chen knew, they chose to believe him at this moment.
At the same time, all the newcomers looked at the formless black shadow, their faces flushed, as they were draining the last bit of spiritual power they had just recovered.
"Purple Night, Crimson Stripes, Orange Star, Azure Clouds, Green Wood!"
"All instructors, withstand the attack and launch an assault this way!"
Zhu Cheng and Lan Yue's voices rang out simultaneously. A little further away, Zi Ye and the others turned around without hesitation, their faces hardened, no longer caring about the mystery in front of them.
Lightning bolts shot out, cannon fire erupted, and earth spikes surged around the vines. In an instant, over a hundred forbidden abilities capable of being unleashed shot out from the plaza and attacked the formless black shadow.
"Puff puff puff!"
However, the price they paid for doing so was that, on Zi Ye's side, more than ten instructors had their bodies pierced by the mysterious force behind them, and their life force was rapidly draining away, but there was not a trace of regret on their faces.
Seeing the newlyweds with tears in their eyes and sorrowful faces, they managed a weak smile and gave them a thumbs up.
"Damn it, I finally got to look cool in front of these brats!"
More than ten instructors cursed. During this period, Chi Chen and the others had performed really well, so they hadn't been able to establish their authority as instructors. As a result, those brats would joke around with them whenever they had free time, which was a waste of their initial show of force.
"Brothers, let's drag them down to hell one last time!"
One of them roared and actually let the mysterious long limb pierce his body. Then he turned his body, faced the mystery, and with a ferocious expression, swung his last knife!
On the square, more than ten instructors, in the last moments of their lives, still took away a damned mystery.
"Not enough. Although their attacks are powerful, they're still a little short!"
The monkey's voice echoed in Chi Chen's mind once again.
"Great Sage, possess me!"
Chi Chen's face was filled with grief, and he actually shouted out loud.
"Boy, your cultivation level is too low right now, and you were already severely injured. If I were to possess your body again, regardless of whether you could withstand it, if you rushed in, even with my protection, there's a 99% chance you'd die instantly under those forbidden attacks. Are you sure?!"
The monkey's stern voice rang out, warning Chi Chen.
"Great Sage, I beg you, possess me! All of this may have been caused by me. I don't want to see anyone else die!"
Chi Chen gritted his teeth and said it to himself, word by word, without hesitation.
"Hey kid, you're getting more and more popular with me. In that case, I'll go crazy with you!"
The monkey chuckled, its voice laced with murderous intent.
At the same time, an overwhelming wave of forbidden abilities arrived in front of the Formless Shadow. Lin Bai, who had just unleashed an Annihilation spell, collapsed to the ground, his face pale. Then he heard Chi Chen's shout, and Chi Chen's figure rushed out from beside him, heading straight for the Formless Shadow.
"Chi Chen!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Bai roared in fear. If Chi Chen went over there, those forbidden attacks would also hit him at the same time. With such a terrifying attack, Chi Chen would have no chance of surviving.
Xiang Ming, Gan Yuan, and the others were also shocked by what they saw. They tried to stop Chi Chen, but Chi Chen was too fast, and they didn't have the strength to stop him.
"Chi Chen!"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Cheng exclaimed in surprise and moved to stop Chi Chen, but it was too late.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, a massive mushroom cloud rose from the ground, and the shockwave from the violent explosion sent everyone flying. At the same time, the anger and fighting power that erupted from Zi Ye and the others, filled with immense grief, finally allowed them to kill all the members of the Mysterious and Heretical Forbidden Zone, even though they were all severely injured.
They turned their heads, staring in shock at the figure that had finally rushed to the front of the formless black shadow. Then, the dazzling firelight obscured their vision.
At the same moment, high in the sky, Zhang Rong, holding Cheng Hu's body and with a sorrowful expression, finally arrived.
The moment he saw Chi Chen rush in, Zhang Rong's pupils contracted, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
After a long while, the smoke and mud dissipated at the same time, and the group, dragging their heavily injured bodies, looked in that direction.
Lin Bai crawled on the ground toward that direction, but this time, he didn't shed a single tear, because he knew that Chi Chen must still be alive.
"Chi Chen, you must be alive. You told me to live! There are still so many mysteries waiting for us to slay, and we can't let those heretical forbidden places go either!"
Lin Bai murmured softly, his eyes fixed on the spot where the smoke had disappeared.
There, a burly figure appeared in Lin Bai's sight, which immediately startled him.
'team leader? '
Before Lin Bai could even wonder why Zhang Rong was there, his eyes quickly searched for Chi Chen's figure. Beneath Zhang Rong, a mangled and charred body came into Lin Bai's view.
Lin Bai's head was spinning. Could Chi Chen really still be alive?
Seeing this, the others also covered their mouths to keep themselves from making a sound.
"He's not dead yet!"
Zhang Rong looked at Chi Chen, who was already unrecognizable beneath him, but dared not move him in the slightest. At this moment, any contact from the outside world could cause Chi Chen's body to deteriorate further.
Zhang Rong was certain that although Chi Chen's body was extremely damaged, there was still a glimmer of life within him.
"Not dead?"
Upon hearing Zhang Rong's words, Lin Bai's eyes, which had been unfocused, suddenly lit up.
Lan Yue and the others were also shocked. Chi Chen wasn't dead?
