Lin Yi's time-space confinement only bought him a moment's respite.
"Snap—"
The space around that elite extradimensional creature shattered like glass, and it let out a deafening roar, filled with endless rage, as its giant claws swung down once more!
"Holy crap! This thing is really powerful!" Whitebeard exclaimed, his long sword flashing as it struck the ordinary extradimensional creatures, sending up bursts of black blood mist.
Unfortunately, their numbers were too numerous, practically endless, and impossible to eradicate completely.
Chu Yao's face was also somewhat pale, her fingers flying across the virtual keyboard, streams of data pouring down like a waterfall.
Her petite body trembled slightly, clearly a sign of excessive mental exhaustion.
"No, their defenses are too strong; conventional weapons simply can't penetrate them!" Chu Yao's voice was tinged with anxiety, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "We must find their core weakness, or we won't be able to hold out for long!"
Just then, an exceptionally large extradimensional creature swung its sharp claws and slashed fiercely at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard couldn't dodge in time and was struck on the shoulder by the claw. With a "crack," his shoulder blade broke, and his body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Old Bai!" Long Wu's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to rush over to help, but he was held back by several extradimensional creatures.
"Fifth Master! Don't worry about me, take care of yourself first!" Whitebeard endured the excruciating pain and struggled to stand up, but his injuries were too severe, and he could only fall helplessly to the ground, his face as pale as paper.
Lin Yi's eyes turned cold, and his spacetime power surged wildly, as he tried to cast the spacetime confinement spell again.
However, the extradimensional creatures seemed to have anticipated his movements, and they all unleashed even greater power, with black energy waves pouring down on him like raindrops.
"Damn it, are you cheating?!" Lin Yi cursed under his breath, his figure flashing like a ghost as he narrowly avoided the energy waves.
However, such intense dodging also greatly depleted his spacetime power.
"This won't do, we need to think of a way..." Lin Yi's mind raced, searching for a way to break the deadlock.
Just then, Long Wu let out a painful roar.
"ah--!"
His aura suddenly became violent, and streams of golden energy, like flames, surged out from his body.
His skin began to turn red, and his veins bulged out like earthworms, as if they were about to burst.
"Long Wu, what's wrong with you?!" Lin Yi exclaimed in surprise. He could feel the violent power within Long Wu's body growing at an astonishing rate.
Long Wu's eyes turned blood red as he stared intently at the extradimensional creatures.
"I...I'm going to...slaughter you all!"
He roared, his voice hoarse and low, like a wounded beast.
The next moment, countless golden patterns suddenly appeared on Long Wu's body.
The patterns covered his entire body like dragon scales, radiating a dazzling light.
"This is... the World-Destroying Dragon Mark?!" Lin Yi's pupils suddenly contracted. He had seen records of the World-Destroying Dragon Mark in ancient books. It was said that only those with the bloodline of a true dragon could awaken this powerful force under conditions of extreme anger and despair.
"So this kid actually possesses the bloodline of a true dragon..." Lin Yi thought to himself, a glimmer of hope rising within him.
The awakening of the World-Destroying Dragon Mark by Long Wu means that he possesses even greater power, which may be able to turn the tide of the battle.
"Lin Yi, cooperate with me!" Long Wu's voice rang in Lin Yi's mind, carrying an unprecedented firmness and confidence.
"Okay!" Lin Yi agreed without hesitation.
The next moment, the spacetime power in his body surged wildly, and invisible waves spread outwards.
"Time and space... are slowed down!"
Lin Yi gave a low shout, and the movements of those extradimensional creatures instantly became sluggish, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
"Now!" Long Wu roared, clenching his fists, and charged forward.
The golden patterns on his body radiated an even more dazzling light, making him look like a golden war god.
"boom--!"
Long Wu punched a creature from another dimension, and the creature's body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of black blood mist.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Long Wu was like a tiger among sheep, his punches landing with brutal force, each one containing terrifying power, blasting those extradimensional creatures into pieces one by one.
Those originally ferocious extradimensional creatures were utterly helpless in front of Long Wu, as fragile as paper.
"Holy crap, Fifth Master is awesome!" Whitebeard couldn't help but curse upon seeing this, a smile of excitement spreading across his face. "That's what a real man should look like!"
Chu Yao also stopped typing and stared at Long Wu in shock.
Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"It seems like we're really going to turn things around this time..."
Long Wu's outburst instantly turned the tide of the battle.
The number of those extradimensional creatures was drastically reduced under the combined attack of Long Wu and Lin Yi, and most of them were quickly wiped out.
However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a sudden change occurred.
"Where's Su Qing?!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized that Su Qing, who had been following behind them, had disappeared.
"She was just next to me a moment ago, how did she suddenly disappear?" Chu Yao asked, looking puzzled.
"Damn it, hurry up and find them!" Lin Yi's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.
He immediately stopped attacking and searched everywhere for Su Qing.
Whitebeard and Chu Yao, without even taking a break, joined the search team.
However, they searched the entire battlefield but could not find any trace of Su Qing.
"Su Qing! Su Qing! Where are you?!" Lin Yi shouted loudly, his voice echoing across the empty battlefield, but there was no response.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Lin Yi's heart.
"Damn it, what on earth happened?!"
Just then, Lin Yi's gaze suddenly fixed on a patch of blood on the ground.
The bloodstain had an eerie purple hue and emitted a nauseating odor.
"This is..." Lin Yi's expression changed drastically. He immediately squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstain.
"This is the blood of beings from another dimension!" Chu Yao exclaimed. "Could it be that Su Qing was captured by them?!"
"Impossible!" Lin Yi categorically denied. "Su Qing is not weak. Even if she was no match for her, she couldn't have been captured without any resistance."
"Then where did she go?!" the white-bearded man asked anxiously.
Lin Yi remained silent, his mind racing as he tried to figure out why Su Qing had disappeared.
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's mind.
"Lin Yi, your game has only just begun..."
Lin Yi suddenly raised his head and looked around, but found nothing.
"Who is it?!" he roared, his voice filled with anger and vigilance.
However, that voice never appeared again.
Su Qing's disappearance has made the situation, which had been gradually becoming clearer, unpredictable once again.
Lin Yi's heart was filled with doubt and unease.
He had a vague feeling that Su Qing's disappearance might be hiding a bigger secret.
And this secret may involve the fate of the entire world.
Lin Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"No matter what, we must find Su Qing!"
He secretly vowed that no matter the cost, he would bring Su Qing back.
The owl's face, hidden in the shadows, parted in a strange arc, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
Su Qing has disappeared?
This is much more interesting than killing a few henchmen.
"Well, this is quite an interesting development," he murmured softly, his voice hoarse like a venomous snake, echoing in the empty command room with a chilling undertone.
"Looks like I'll have to give them a little something extra."
A faint smell of blood filled the air, mixed with the acrid smell of burning energy, making one want to vomit.
The owl, however, seemed to smell the sweetest fragrance, licking its lips with its tongue, its scarlet eyes gleaming with excitement.
His long, slender fingers flew across the control panel, and commands spread rapidly like a virus.
On the screen, countless red dots, like bloodthirsty ants, swarmed frantically toward Lin Yi and his group's location.
"Crush those little bugs completely!" The night owl's voice was full of cruelty and bloodlust, like a demon from hell.
"Remember, let them die in despair!"
His already somewhat distorted face now looked even more ferocious, like a ghost.
He seemed to already see Lin Yi and the others struggling in despair, and a more crazed smile crept onto his lips.
"Su Qing...hehe, you're quite a surprise."
The owl's deep laughter echoed in the empty room, sending chills down one's spine.
He turned and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind only the suffocating oppression in the air, like the calm before a storm.
