He suddenly swung his arm, and the black energy wave swept over again, this time with even greater power than before.
"Concentrate firepower and attack the shield!" Shen Jue ordered.
Members of the first and third groups then joined the battle.
Meanwhile, the battle in the second group also entered a fierce stage. Although Lu Qingyuan was poisoned by the black mist of the Ghost Clan, he was unaware of it. The toxicity of the black mist was quietly eroding his meridians, causing his internal energy cultivation to show signs of instability.
"Everyone be careful, this smoke is poisonous!" Lu Qingyuan warned over the communicator, but it was too late; he had already inhaled a lot of the black smoke.
Lu Qingyuan felt a sharp pain in his body, but he endured it and continued to command the battle.
The staff in his hand shimmered faintly, providing necessary support and healing to his teammates. However, his own condition was deteriorating.
"Captain Lu, what's wrong?" The captain of the third group noticed his unusual behavior. "It's nothing, I can still manage." Lu Qingyuan gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his body.
However, the poison of the black mist spread rapidly, and Lu Qingyuan's movements began to slow down, his internal energy gradually spiraling out of control. Just then, the Otherworldly King suddenly erupted, and black energy waves swept in like a tsunami.
Shen Jue activated his defense card, helping everyone dodge the attack.
"Lu Qingyuan, how's the situation on your end?" Shen Jue asked through the communicator.
"Something's not right, I..." Before Lu Qingyuan could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain and his internal energy began to spiral out of control.
"Lu Qingyuan!" Shen Jue's heart sank; something had happened.
Just then, the Otherworld King's shield suddenly erupted with a strong energy fluctuation, blasting the members of the first group away.
Shen Jue was also knocked back several steps, but she quickly regained her balance.
"Everyone, retreat!" Shen Jue ordered.
She knew that someone had to step forward to hold off the Otherworldly King and buy time for the others. And that person could only be her.
"Shen Jue, you can't go alone!" Lu Qingyuan shouted, enduring the excruciating pain.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
She charged towards the Otherworldly King, her blade tracing a graceful arc in the air, aimed directly at his chest. The Otherworldly King sneered, raising his hand and unleashing another wave of black energy.
Shen Jue quickly dodged to the side, while using his speed advantage to try and get closer to the Otherworldly King.
"Chen Jue, I'm here to help you!" Lu Qingyuan endured the excruciating pain, even though his cultivation had been reversed and he had become a cripple. But he knew magic, so he picked up his staff and rejoined the battle.
Although his internal energy was out of control, he still used all his strength to provide Shen Jue with necessary assistance and treatment. At the same time, other top experts also joined the battle, giving it their all.
However, the Otherworld King's shield remained unbreakable.
Just then, Lu Qingyuan suddenly felt an unprecedented pain. His meridians began to break inch by inch, and his internal energy ran rampant in his body like a wild horse.
Lu Qingyuan's body slowly collapsed; his meridians were completely destroyed, and he had lost all his martial arts skills.
But he said nothing and continued to grit his teeth and persevere.
"Everyone, stand back!" Shen Jue shouted the order.
She knew that the Otherworld King's strength had reached an unprecedented level, so it seemed that she would have to use that card.
