The most powerful light wave instantly knocked everyone present to the ground, making them feel the immense pressure from the magical beast.
Xie Zhou couldn't help but frown, clench his fists, and try to restore his senses once again, so as not to be overwhelmed by the powerful airflow.
Then, imbued with power, it struck the earth, stood up, looked around, and discovered that all the power came from the fountain.
The power of the monster is awakening, but it is not yet complete. It will probably take a while, and they must eliminate it, or rather, subdue it, during this time.
Otherwise, once their full power is awakened, they will have no room to defend themselves.
Judging from the current situation, the monster has recovered most of its strength, and even if Xie Zhou were to use all his power, he would probably have a hard time matching it.
"Junior sister, have you decided on the direction?"
Luo Fentian lay on the ground, sensing the demonic energy coming from all directions. He held his mind, making sure he wouldn't be disturbed by the demonic energy and fall into demonic possession.
In this environment, one must forcefully suppress the restlessness within, regardless of how intense the surrounding environment may be, it is irrelevant to oneself.
"Over there at the fountain, his power has already awakened more than half of itself. If we all fought together, our combined spiritual power might be able to match his. However, we must act before his strength is fully restored, otherwise we won't even have a chance." Xie Zhou clenched his fists and used his arm to shield his eyes. Although his eyes were covered by a white cloth, this was the best course of action at the moment—to avoid looking.
It seems the old tortoise had planned ahead with this piece of cloth; its most important purpose was not to relieve the pain in its eyes, but to avoid being disturbed by the demonic energy in front of it.
Even if one is careless in manipulating things, they will not fall into demonic possession as a result; on the contrary, it provides another, more important layer of protection.
"The monster's power has been increasing day by day since it returned here. Little girl, are you sure you can defeat it with your own strength?"
The old woman lay on the ground, unwilling to watch the person in front of her get hurt again and again, so she decided to take her away quickly.
"Now that I've come here, I'm determined to see it through. Old man, you should head back as soon as possible."
After saying that, he stopped paying attention to everything around him, felt the demonic energy coming from all directions, and used his power to forcefully knock the demonic beast, which had not yet fully absorbed the tacit understanding, out of the fountain.
He then drew his spirit sword from his waist and began to fight with his opponent. The situation escalated, and the blades clashed back and forth, producing a loud clanging sound.
The monster clearly didn't want to continue fighting and planned to collect demonic energy to become stronger, but it didn't expect the person in front of it to be so persistent.
Luo Fentian finally managed to calm the demonic energy around him and stood up to join the fight.
"Junior sister, don't worry, I'll lend you a hand. We must defeat this demon again today and absolutely not let him go out and cause chaos."
Because Xie Zhou's eyes were covered by a strip of cloth, although the demonic energy was blocked, he still couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly, and he didn't know the exact location of the demonic beast.
The spirit insect naturally saw her helplessness. "Don't worry, Master. I'll act as your eyes here and tell you the general direction. Just go for it."
Xie Zhou couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He never expected that the people around him would lend a helping hand even when he was in dire straits.
However, the strength of the three people was far inferior to that of the magical beast. Xie Zhou could no longer bear it and immediately waved his hand, sensing a mysterious power coming from the side.
The energy surged and clashed within their bodies, like a buffer, and ultimately, thanks to this mysterious power, they triumphed over the monster.
Xie Zhou gripped the sword in his hand and began to strike the fallen monster, but was suddenly interrupted by a boy who descended from the sky.
Luo Fentian was filled with anger, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find that the person who came was Hua Zilai.
"Hua Zilai? What are you doing? Monsters are threatening humanity. I left you in the sect, not for you to come and cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhou couldn't help but become suspicious. Why would his good disciple suddenly come here to oppose him? Could he have been controlled by someone?
But this young man's appearance, inside and out, is very different from that of Hua Zilai. Why does he look like a general?
The boy couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, his hands clasped in front of his chest as he continuously parried Xie Zhou's fierce attacks. "I'm not some Hua Zilai. I think you're all getting old and starting to mistake people for people."
Left with no other choice, the three of them separated and stood in another place. The boy looked at the monster lying on the ground and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"You don't even cherish such a powerful magical beast, so why did you have to fight it like this? Don't give it to me, I want it."
The boy couldn't help but frown as he jumped down, reaching out to examine the power emanating from the magical beast, only to find that it wasn't completely dead.
Suddenly, a surge of excitement welled up within him. He drew a circle around himself and began fighting Xie Zhou once again.
Luo Fentian stood aside, unsure of what to do next. He found it hard to bring himself to attack this person who looked so much like Hua Zilai.
He had just been talking to him before he arrived, but in an instant he realized that this boy was not Hua Zilai at all.
Having made up his mind, he gripped his sword tightly and slashed at the man.
However, the difference in strength was ultimately too great. Xie Zhou had already exhausted most of his power fighting the magical beasts before this, and now that the other party had drawn a circle around itself and was opposing him, he really couldn't handle it.
Finally defeated, Xie Zhou forcefully planted his foot in the ground, struggling to keep her from falling.
The spirit insect stood to the side, unsure of what to do. It could only stare blankly at the three people in front of it.
He was a little confused as to why this boy looked so much like Hua Zilai. Could they be half-brothers?
All of this remained only in my heart, and it seemed as if some questions had become clear.
Perhaps the boy in front of us is a clone, after all, the Hall of Forgotten Spirits often likes to do such things, and it is probably related to them.
Luo Fentian, exhausted, finally succumbed to his injuries, clutching his chest and vomiting a large amount of blood.
He truly hadn't expected this young man to possess such formidable strength. Had the two of them not already suffered heavy losses in their previous battle against the magical beast, how could this guy have been so arrogant?
Xie Zhou clenched his fists tightly, letting the stinging sensation penetrate his body, refusing to be temporarily paralyzed.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. How come this guy looks so much like his little apprentice, Hana Jiraiya? Before he could even think about it, he saw the person in front of him burst into laughter, looking exactly like someone mocking him.
