The owl's eyes, flashing with an eerie purple light, were like laser lights at a midnight disco, making one's scalp tingle.
He spread his hands, and a sticky, foul-smelling extradimensional energy surged out like a floodgate opening, overwhelming everything.
This energy, carrying a wild and untamed force that didn't belong to Earth, began to frantically compress the surrounding spacetime as soon as it appeared, emitting crackling and popping sounds like cheap firecrackers exploding, which was very unsettling.
Lin Yi and the others instantly felt as if they had fallen into a pressure cooker, feeling extremely uncomfortable all over.
"Holy crap, this old guy's serious!" Long Wu exclaimed, almost losing his balance.
He was a man who had awakened the "True Dragon Bloodline," and his physique was as strong as an ox, but under the pressure of this energy, he felt as if his bones were about to be crushed.
At this critical moment, an even colder and more sinister aura emerged from the ground like a venomous snake.
"Hehehehe..."
Accompanied by a chilling laugh, an old man dressed in a black Taoist robe with white hair and beard appeared out of thin air beside Night Owl.
This old man is none other than Xuanmingzi, the incarnation of the mastermind behind the game "Infinite"!
His old face, wrinkled enough to trap a mosquito, carried an eerie smile, like a zombie just dug out of a grave, sending chills down your spine.
"Lord Night Owl, this old man is here to lend you a hand!" Xuan Mingzi said in a shrill voice, his voice sounding like fingernails scratching a blackboard, extremely grating.
With a flick of his whisk, a black light instantly merged into Night Owl's energy barrier.
The barrier suddenly became even stronger and more malevolent, like a giant black tumor, exuding a nauseating stench.
"Holy crap, are these two old guys gay?!" Long Wu couldn't help but swear.
Lin Yi's expression also turned serious. He knew that he was really in trouble now.
"Chu Yao, analyze the enemy's energy composition and find a breakthrough!" he ordered in a deep voice, while gripping the Space-Time Blade tightly, ready to strike at any moment.
Chu Yao's clear voice, like a refreshing breeze in summer, instantly rang in Lin Yi's mind: "Master, the enemy's energy is a fusion of extradimensional energy and Xuan Mingzi's primordial power, possessing extremely strong corrosive and defensive properties. However..."
"But what? Tell me quickly!" Lin Yi asked eagerly.
"However, this fusion is not perfect; there is a subtle repulsion between the two energies, which may be our breakthrough point!"
Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and an idea immediately came to him.
"Aizen, Ryugo, listen to my command!" He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Aizen, use your 'Hōgyoku' to attack the weak points of the energy barrier. Ryugo, draw their attention!"
“No problem!” Aizen pushed up his glasses, a glint of light flashing behind the lenses.
He activated the "Hōgyoku" again, and a powerful spiritual pressure erupted instantly, shaking the surrounding space like a volcanic eruption.
"Aww—"
Long Wu raised his head and let out a deafening dragon roar, his scales shimmering with dazzling golden light.
He charged toward Night Owl and Xuanmingzi like a cannonball, his momentum so fierce it seemed he wanted to tear them to shreds.
Night Owl and Xuanmingzi were clearly taken aback by Long Wu's ferocity.
"Hmph, courting death!" Night Owl sneered, raised his hand and waved, sending a purple energy beam straight towards Long Wu.
At the same time, Xuanmingzi smiled sinisterly and waved his whisk, and a black chain, like a venomous snake, coiled around Long Wu's legs.
Long Wu was not afraid at all. He roared and punched out with both fists, shattering the energy beam.
However, the black chain, like a persistent affliction, tightly bound his legs, making it impossible for him to move an inch.
"Break them off for me!" Long Wu roared, his true dragon bloodline surging wildly, trying to break free of the chains.
Just then, Aizen made a move.
The "Hōgyoku" in his hand shone brightly, and a dazzling beam of light shot towards the energy barrier like a sharp sword.
"boom--"
With a deafening roar, a tiny crack appeared on the energy barrier.
"Now!" A glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he instantly activated the [Time and Space Domination] skill, condensing the surrounding time and space power onto the Time and Space Blade.
"Time-Space Slash!"
He roared and swung the Blade of Time and Space, slashing fiercely at the crack.
A dazzling beam of light pierced through the energy barrier and headed straight for the Night Owl.
Night Owl's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Lin Yi could break through his defenses so easily.
"Damn it!" he cursed angrily, and hurriedly mobilized his energy to try to resist Lin Yi's attack.
However, Lin Yi's Space-Time Blade contains powerful space-time forces, which he cannot easily withstand.
"puff--"
The Blade of Time and Space slashed fiercely at Night Owl, leaving a deep wound on his chest.
The owl let out a scream as its body flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground.
At the same time, Long Wu also successfully broke free from the black chains. He roared and charged towards Xuan Mingzi.
"You old bastard, take this punch!"
Long Wu punched Xuan Mingzi in the face with terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
Xuanmingzi's expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his whisk, trying to block Long Wu's attack.
However, Long Wu's power was simply too great, and he was unable to completely resist it.
"Bang--"
Long Wu's fist slammed into Xuan Mingzi's whisk, shattering it into pieces.
Xuanmingzi screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily into a large tree.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Just when Lin Yi and his team thought victory was assured, Night Owl suddenly got up from the ground, and the wound on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a strange smile.
"Heh, you think you can defeat me like this? How naive!"
His voice became low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
"Next, I'll show you true power!"
Before he finished speaking, the owl suddenly raised its head and looked up at the sky.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the clouds and reach the distant starry sky.
"Great Lord, grant me strength!" he murmured in an ancient and mysterious language.
An even more powerful and malevolent force descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Night Owl's entire body.
His body began to undergo drastic changes.
His skin became as hard as steel, and his muscles became as solid as rock.
His eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, like those of a wild beast.
He is no longer the Night Owl he once was.
He transformed into a true monster, a terrifying being from another dimension.
Lin Yi and his group felt unprecedented pressure.
Just then, Chu Yao's voice rang in Lin Yi's mind again: "Master, an unknown energy fluctuation has been detected. The intensity is extremely high. We recommend an immediate retreat!"
Lin Yi gritted his teeth
"Retreat!" he decisively gave the order.
Just as Lin Yi and his group were preparing to retreat, the monstrous night owl suddenly grinned, revealing a chilling smile.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yi.
"The game has only just begun..."
Lin Yi's team was like they had cheat codes activated, their moves flowed as smoothly as a rap battle, one after another, leaving Night Owl and Xuan Mingzi dizzy and disoriented.
Aizen's Hogyoku was like an energy cannon, bombarding the enemy's defenses with a "beep beep beep" sound, creating a spectacular explosion.
Long Wu took the lead, delivering powerful punches that were accompanied by a series of "thump-thump" sounds, making him look like a humanoid Gundam.
Even Chu Yao, who usually serves tea and water and offers advice, showed off her skills. With a piece of advanced technology, she directly interfered with the enemy's communication system, throwing them into chaos.
Just as they were about to wipe them out in one fell swoop, Night Owl and Xuanmingzi suddenly exchanged a glance. How should I put it, that kind of mysterious confidence before unleashing a powerful attack sent chills down my spine.
At the same time, Su Qing, who was being held hostage, turned pale and her breathing became barely perceptible, making everyone on the edge of their seats.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in his mind.
Suddenly, Night Owl gave a sinister smile: "This is nothing, the real show is just beginning..."
