The "Forgotten City" swayed precariously, as if it were about to collapse.
The ground beneath my feet shook so violently it was like a sieve, and I could barely stand.
The air was thick with the smell of dust, making people cough incessantly.
Above their heads, one large rock after another was falling down, making a loud rumbling sound, as if God was playing bowling, and they became the unlucky pins.
Su Qing was also being illuminated by a strange red light, like a crazy red light bulb, the energy fluctuations emanating from it making people's hearts tremble.
She roared and attacked, her mind completely out of control, like a dancer possessed by a demon, wildly waving her weapon.
"Oh my god! What's going on? They're getting serious!" Long Wu's face was as white as paper as he dodged the falling stones and Su Qing's attacks. He felt like a cookie caught in the middle, not knowing when it would be crushed.
Although the white-bearded old man was old, he was still quite healthy. He swung his large axe to block Su Qing's attacks, while also having to watch out for the falling stones.
He was like a particularly experienced veteran, able to handle the chaotic battlefield, though beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.
Lin Yi frowned, blocking Su Qing's attacks while cautiously surveying his surroundings.
He had a feeling that something was wrong. The earthquake came too suddenly, and the eerie red light on Su Qing's body seemed like there was some kind of conspiracy.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery began to become distorted and warped, the space itself becoming like a funhouse mirror, making people feel dizzy.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
This is a time-space trap!
At that moment, a sinister voice echoed from the distorted space: "Hmph, Lin Yi, you never thought you'd end up like this!"
Dark Blade, that treacherous fellow, has finally shown his face.
He hid in that distorted spacetime, like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, waiting for his chance to strike.
"Dark Blade! What the hell are you up to?!" Long Wu roared angrily. He hated people who used underhanded tricks the most.
Dark Blade was quite smug, laughing as he said, "Of course, it's to send you to your deaths! I put a lot of effort into creating this spacetime trap, so just wait and see what happens!"
As soon as Dark Blade finished speaking, the surrounding spacetime distorted even more violently, and the space kept shrinking together, as if it was trying to squeeze everyone into a meat pie.
"Boss, what should we do?" Long Wu was a little panicked. Although he was quite capable, he knew nothing about the power of spacetime. Faced with this strange trap, he had no idea what to do.
Lin Yi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
In situations like this, the more panicked you are, the worse it will be.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the fluctuations in space and time around him, hoping to find the loopholes in the trap.
Lin Yi's forte is the power of time and space.
He had never formally and systematically studied spacetime magic, but he had an incredibly powerful profession called "Spacetime Overlord," which gave him a much better understanding of the rules of spacetime than most people.
"Hmph, don't waste your energy. The spacetime trap I set is flawless!" Dark Blade mocked.
Lin Yi's lips curled slightly, a confident smile appearing on his face: "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll have to take a good look and see whether your trap is more powerful or my spacetime power is more powerful!"
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and found it!
The Space-Time Blade in Lin Yi's hand suddenly shone brightly, and beams of golden light shot out from the blade, tearing through the distorted space-time like countless swords piercing towards the Dark Blade.
"What?!" Dark Blade was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't expect Lin Yi to be able to see through his trap.
Lin Yi snorted and swung the Space-Time Blade in his hand even faster. Golden lights intertwined and formed a huge space-time net, which immediately trapped the Dark Blade.
“You…you actually…” Dark Blade looked at Lin Yi in fear.
Lin Yi said unhurriedly, "I told you before, your trap is useless against me." He used his spacetime power to compress the spacetime cage that trapped Dark Blade smaller and smaller.
Dark Blade felt as if he were trapped in a cage that kept getting smaller, making it difficult to even breathe.
"Let...let me go..." Dark Blade's voice trembled as he finally understood what the threat of death felt like.
Lin Yi completely ignored him and kept using his spacetime power, trying to trap Dark Blade completely.
"Boss, that's awesome!" Long Wu immediately gave a thumbs up.
Lin Yi smiled and turned to look at Su Qing.
Su Qing's condition was still not good; the red light around her body was still flashing, as if it might explode at any moment.
Just then, Aizen suddenly said, "Lin Yi, I... I think I've discovered something..." Aizen even pretended to push up his glasses (he wasn't actually wearing glasses), a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, like Conan channeling his inner Conan, and said with great confidence, "I've discovered that the power within Su Qing's body seems to resonate with a specific frequency. If we can find the reverse wave of that frequency, maybe we can suppress this power for now!"
His words were like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly giving everyone hope again.
Ryuu jumped up excitedly, almost stomping on his own foot, and shouted, "Really? Brother Aizen, you're a lifesaver! Tell me, how do we do it?"
Lin Yi stared at Aizen with shining eyes, as if trying to see right through him, and quickly said, "Tell me in detail, how confident are you?"
Aizen pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers in the air as if fiddling with an invisible computer, and said, "I think the frequency fluctuation range of this power is roughly... (many technical terms omitted here). I need to spend some time setting up a temporary energy interference device before I can try it out."
"Time is of the essence, efficiency is everything!" Lin Yi made a decision immediately. "Chu Yao, you go and cooperate with Aizen, fully support him in his work! Whitebeard, Ryugo, you two keep watch around and ensure their safety!"
Everyone immediately sprang into action, like a highly precise machine, with each person having their own task to complete.
Aizen started fiddling with those strange instruments, while Chu Yao provided technical assistance from the side. Various data streams were running on her virtual screen, creating a scene reminiscent of The Matrix, which was incredibly cool.
However, just when everyone was paying close attention, the surrounding space began to change again.
A chilling sensation, like a venomous snake, quietly spread through the air.
Whitebeard, being a very experienced man, immediately sensed that something was amiss.
He whirled around, his beard and hair standing on end, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Watch out! Something looks like something's happened!"
Unfortunately, his warning came a little too late.
Then we saw a blurry black shadow, like a ghost, appear in front of us in a flash. It was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
"Hehehe... This teamwork is really heartwarming..."
