"Warm-up is over, little guy." Xuan Mingzi's sinister voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, chilling to the bone.
He raised his hands high, and dark energy surged like boiling ink, bringing with it a suffocating pressure.
Lin Yi felt a tightness in his chest, and the spacetime shield trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any moment.
"Holy crap! This old guy's about to unleash a powerful attack!" Long Wu exclaimed, golden dragon scales appearing on his body, his muscles bulging, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a majestic golden dragon, circling around Lin Yi.
"Boss, hold on! Watch my special skill, Long Aotian... no, Long Wu!"
The golden dragon roared and charged toward Xuan Mingzi, its claws tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
"This guy is such a chuunibyou teenager, he's always having a lot of fun," Lin Yi thought to himself, but he had to admit that Long Wu's transformation was quite impressive, at least in terms of presence.
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard with an air of composure, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
"Young man, don't be impulsive. A battle can't be won by brute force alone." He slammed his cane heavily on the ground, and an invisible force spread out, like an invisible net that sealed off the surrounding space.
At the same time, Chu Yao's electronic eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Analysis complete! Xuanmingzi's attack pattern has been locked. Weakness: After each release of a large-scale skill, there is a 0.3-second energy vacuum period." Her voice was cold and swift, like a precise machine.
0.3 seconds?
Lin Yi's heart stirred; even he could hardly capture such a short time.
However… a confident smile appeared on his lips.
Almost impossible to capture doesn't mean completely impossible. For someone who controls time and space, 0.3 seconds is enough!
"Long Wu, draw his attention!" Lin Yi shouted, the power of spacetime surging within him, like a supernova about to explode.
"Received!" The golden dragon roared deafeningly, its massive body flashing like a golden lightning bolt as it charged straight at Xuanmingzi.
Xuanmingzi sneered, and dark energy in his hand gathered into a huge black sphere, exuding an aura of destruction.
"Overestimating yourself!" He hurled the black ball at the golden dragon, and the huge explosion shook the heavens and earth, as if space itself was being distorted.
Now!
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his spacetime power erupted. He instantly disappeared from his original spot and reappeared behind Xuan Mingzi.
"Space-Time Slash!" Lin Yi roared, conjuring a dazzling space-time blade in his hand, which he slashed fiercely at Xuan Mingzi's back.
"What?!" Xuan Mingzi was shocked. He had not expected that Lin Yi would be able to catch his brief opening.
In his haste, he could only barely conjure a shield, but it was no match for the sharp edge of the spacetime blade.
"Pfft!" The sharp blade pierced through the shield, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on Xuan Mingzi's back.
"Roar!" The golden dragon seized the opportunity and spewed a scorching dragon breath at Xuan Mingzi, burning him to a crisp.
"I'll join in the fun too!" The white-bearded man appeared beside Xuan Mingzi at some point, his cane as cunning as a venomous snake, striking Xuan Mingzi's weakest joint.
With a crisp "crack!", Xuan Mingzi's joints were shattered, and he let out a painful scream, staggering backward.
"Damn it! You ants!" Xuanmingzi
He gathered his dark energy again, wanting to launch a counterattack, but Lin Yi and the others would not give him that chance.
Lin Yi used the teleportation technique again, appearing in front of Xuan Mingzi and trapping him in a spacetime cage.
"It's over!" Lin Yi said coldly, his spacetime power surging in his hand, preparing to deliver the final blow to Xuan Mingzi.
"You want to kill me? Not so easy!" Xuan Mingzi roared, and a powerful dark energy suddenly erupted from his body, actually shattering the spacetime cage.
He transformed into a black shadow and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
"Damn it! He got away!" Long Wu angrily slammed his fist on the ground, creating a huge crater.
“There’s no need to pursue him.” Whitebeard shook his head. “He is already seriously injured and will not be able to cause any more trouble for a while.”
Lin Yi looked in the direction where Xuan Mingzi had disappeared, "The next time we meet will be the day you die."
“Let’s go,” Lin Yi said, turning to the group. “Let’s continue.”
The group passed through the smoke-filled battlefield and arrived at the entrance to a dark passage.
At the entrance to the passage, an ancient stone tablet stands quietly, with a few indistinct characters engraved on it.
The white-bearded man squinted, carefully examining the inscriptions on the stone tablet. "This... seems to be..."
Before he could finish speaking, a chilling mechanical whirring sound suddenly came from the depths of the passage, followed by countless sharp blades protruding from the walls on both sides of the passage...
"Watch out!" Lin Yi shouted, pulling Chu Yao behind him. At the same time, a powerful force of spacetime enveloped him...
Before Lin Yi could even finish saying "Be careful," countless blades, like hedgehog quills, emerged from both sides of the passage, gleaming with a deathly light in the dim illumination.
The blade was so sharp it was like a sharpened Swiss Army knife; just looking at it made one's buttocks tighten.
"Damn it, who designed this?! It's absolutely insane!" Long Wu yelled, and golden dragon scales instantly covered his entire body, making him look like a golden Iron Man.
He rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight: "What's there to be afraid of! Watch me use my dragon scales to send all these broken blades flying!"
The white-bearded man grabbed him, puffing out his beard and glaring at him, saying, "You brute! These traps are no joke, be careful not to capsize in the gutter!" As he spoke, he leaned on his cane and tapped the ground a few times.
Chu Yao's electronic eyes rapidly scanned the surrounding environment, streams of data flowing across her retina.
"Warning! Warning! High-intensity energy fluctuations are detected in the passage ahead, suspected to be a laser array." Her calm voice echoed in the passage, like the whisper of death.
Lin Yi activated his Eye of Time and Space, and the world before him instantly changed.
Those energy flows that are invisible to the naked eye are clearly visible in the Eye of Spacetime.
He discovered that these blades and laser arrays did not exist independently, but were interconnected, forming a complex energy network.
"It seems that to get through here, we must find the weakness of this energy network," Lin Yi muttered to himself, his eyes sharpening.
He took a deep breath, the power of spacetime dancing at his fingertips, and slowly reached out, touching one of the blades...
"Boss, be careful!" Long Wu shouted nervously.
Lin Yi didn't speak; his fingers had already touched the cold blade.
Just then, a strange change occurred. A low humming sound came from the depths of the passage, as if something was awakening.
Su Qing's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears: "Don't touch it! You'll regret it..."
