The moment Chi Chen slashed the prisoner dragon, the doubts that had arisen from the sudden attack of the three mysterious creatures, Chong Fei, Yu Ma, and Xin Sha, vanished instantly. With bloodshot eyes and black mist emanating from their bodies, they surrounded and attacked the four people in the center, including Chi Chen.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye.
Xiang Yun's face was grim. He summoned Night Ghost and took the initiative to meet Fei Zhong. Yu Ma's spear was aimed at Ma Di, who was closest to him, while Cui Miao was blocked by Xin Sha, who was like a ghost.
Therefore, Chi Chen naturally faced off against the Black Demon.
Despite its enormous size, Fei Zhong was surprisingly agile, bouncing its massive body like a ball across the ground. This time, it hurtled towards Xiang Yun like a cannonball, sending him flying multiple times in an instant, blood trickling from the corners of its mouth. In contrast, Ye Gui inflicted very little damage on Fei Zhong. Fei Zhong's body seemed to be able to stretch and contract infinitely, making Ye Gui's phantom blade feel like it was hitting cotton when it struck Fei Zhong.
The difference in skill between Fei Zhong and Xiang Yun was immediately apparent. Furthermore, Xiang Yun had already expended some energy, making him even less of a match for Fei Zhong. Without assistance, Xiang Yun would likely be defeated in less than ten minutes.
On the other two sides, Madi was in an even worse state, being chased and fleeing like prey by the long spear that the prison horse had conjured.
Cui Miao was able to withstand Xin Sha's attacks thanks to her own abilities, but the situation was not optimistic.
As expected, the battle had just begun when Xiang Yun and his two companions were immediately at a significant disadvantage.
Therefore, it is clearly impossible to break the deadlock by relying on them!
All the pressure fell directly on Chi Chen.
"We must kill this mysterious creature as soon as possible!"
Chi Chen's expression was grave. He had wasted a lot of time, and Lin Dao's soul power was almost depleted. If he wanted to take Xiang Yun and the others with him, he had to kill the Black Demon in the last remaining time of Lin Dao's soul power. Only then could Chi Chen have two Star Radiance Realm soul bodies in reserve, ensuring the safe retreat of the four of them.
"call!"
Chi Chen took a deep breath, then picked up his long sword and charged towards the Black Demon.
Black Demon had previously witnessed Chi Chen's power dissipate. Although he didn't know why Chi Chen could unleash the power of the Star Radiance Realm again, Black Demon knew from his previous experience that Chi Chen's state couldn't be maintained for long. Therefore, from the start of the battle, Black Demon released a large amount of highly corrosive mist to trap Chi Chen, but did not directly attack him. He knew that as long as he could hold Chi Chen off, the moment Chi Chen's power dissipated again would be the best time to kill him.
Furthermore, Black Demon had witnessed the death of Rin-kao earlier. His strength was similar to Rin-kao's, but Rin-kao was slightly better than Black Demon in close combat. Even Rin-kao couldn't fight Chi Chen to a standstill in close combat, so Black Demon naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to give up his advantage to fight Chi Chen in close combat.
Black Demon believed that his corrosive mist would make Chi Chen wary enough not to approach him easily.
But the moment Chi Chen rushed out, Black Demon's expression changed.
On the other side, Fei Zhong continued to inflict injuries on Xiang Yun while also observing the condition of Hei Mo. The reason he did not immediately take action when he landed with Yu Ma and Xin Sha was because he sensed an extremely dangerous aura on Chi Chen, a natural sense that strong individuals possess.
At the same time, Fei Zhong also sensed that Chi Chen's aura was unstable. Therefore, Fei Zhong judged that Chi Chen's realm and strength were not his own. That's why Fei Zhong deliberately delayed for some time. Now, Fei Zhong clearly felt that Chi Chen's Star Radiance Realm power was gradually declining, which made him realize that he was right.
Fei Zhong agreed with the fighting style Black Demon had chosen, but a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. Once they dealt with these four humans, Black Demon, who had witnessed everything, would naturally not survive either!
Holding a long sword and wearing the Battle Saint Armor, Chi Chen's expression hardened as he looked at the corrosive black mist. However, in order to quickly kill the Black Demon, Chi Chen couldn't care less about that.
Without stopping, Chi Chen rushed directly into the corrosive black mist.
"Sizzle!"
Black smoke continuously rose from the slightly golden Battle Saint Armor. In less than a few breaths, dozens of black holes appeared on the Battle Saint Armor. Corrosive mist instantly entered the holes as if it had eyes, and began to corrode Chi Chen's body.
This immediately changed Chi Chen's expression. Chi Chen had considered the terrifying power of the corrosive black mist, but he thought that even the full-force attack of the Leng Blade had only broken a few cracks in the Battle Saint Armor. So the Battle Saint Armor should be able to withstand the corrosive black mist for a while. However, Chi Chen did not expect that the corrosive black mist would be so lethal to the Battle Saint Armor!
"Ugh!"
The corrosive black mist adhered to Chi Chen's body, and an excruciating pain instantly shot through him, causing him to pause in his forward momentum. Even with Chi Chen's endurance, he was finding it difficult to withstand, which shows how terrifying the corrosive black mist was.
But Chi Chen only paused for a moment, and then, despite the pain, he unleashed an even more terrifying speed than before, charging towards the Black Demon like a bolt of lightning.
Upon seeing this, the joy that had just appeared on Black Demon's face because Chi Chen had foolishly attacked and injured him in the corrosive black mist vanished instantly, and his entire body moved rapidly within the black mist.
The Black Demon wanted to buy time. He knew that Chi Chen couldn't hold out for long in his corrosive black mist. In less than thirty seconds, Chi Chen would completely turn into a puddle of black water.
But the next moment, the Black Demon's expression turned to disbelief, because he sensed a holy energy emanating from Chi Chen, who was relentlessly pursuing him from behind. That energy was rapidly dissolving the corrosive black mist clinging to Chi Chen's body.
Indeed, Chi Chen was currently exerting all his strength to activate the divine restrictions: the energy of the revival of all things was fighting against the corrosive black mist. However, while supporting the activation of three divine restrictions at the same time, Chi Chen's spiritual power was also rapidly dissipating. In less than a moment, the soul energy of the Ling Dao had completely disappeared.
Without any hesitation, Chi Chen directly extracted the Prisoner Dragon Soul that he had just absorbed and swallowed it whole, his eyes flashing with a sharp light once again.
"??? What's going on?"
The Black Demon, who had already sensed that Chi Chen's power had completely receded, suddenly turned his head and stared in disbelief at Chi Chen, who had already arrived behind him.
"Pfft!"
Without a word, Chi Chen swiftly cleaved the Black Demon in two due to his brief moment of distraction, and then Chi Chen quickly finished him off, turning him into a pile of flesh.
"hey-hey!"
Chi Chen sneered and absorbed another Star Radiance Realm soul. The Black Demon died, and the corrosive black mist quickly disappeared. However, some of it remained on Chi Chen's body. Chi Chen frowned, put away the Resurrection of All Things, and endured the pain as he headed towards the battlefield between Xiang Yun and Fei Zhong.
Using the Resurrection of All Things technique was far too taxing on his mental energy, so Chi Chen had no choice but to do it this way.
"That human kid, does he temporarily gain the power of the person he kills?"
Fei Zhong was about to kill Xiang Yun, but Chi Chen's longsword suddenly attacked from behind, making Fei Zhong's heart skip a beat and he dodged. Xiang Yun also avoided Fei Zhong's fatal blow because of this.
Fei Zhong looked at Chi Chen, who had gone to Xiang Yun's side, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
