Chapter 425 Desperate Situation and Hope in the Spirit Abyss
The Fiery Hellfire Flood Dragon lunged forward, its claws outstretched, flames raging around it and distorting the surrounding air. Zhang Peng's "Cage of Laws" flickered violently under the impact of this intense heat, as if it might shatter at any moment.
"The flames of this Fiery Hellfire Serpent are incredibly powerful!" Murong Yu gripped his longsword tightly, the blade glowing red in the flames. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, a result of both the intense heat of the flames and the tense atmosphere of battle. "Hold on, everyone! I'll find an opportunity to attack its weakness!" Murong Yu shouted, trying to boost morale.
Liu Ruoli stood inside the cage, her jade flute trembling slightly as she played the "Sonic Chaos Shield." The sound waves intertwined with the power of the cage, struggling to resist the attacks of the Fiery Hell Demon Dragon. "This demon dragon's power is inexhaustible; this passive defense isn't a long-term solution," Liu Ruoli said anxiously, a hint of worry in her eyes, but her playing continued without pause.
Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He concentrated his mind and used the power of the Chaos Law to sense the power fluctuations of the Fiery Hell Demon Dragon. Under the detection of the Chaos Law, he discovered that the demon dragon's abdomen was its weakest point. However, the demon dragon's attacks were too fierce, and it would be extremely difficult to get close to its abdomen to launch an attack.
"I'll try to distract it first. Murong Yu, you find an opportunity to attack its abdomen!" Zhang Peng shouted. He unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Manifestations Break," the power of chaotic laws coalescing into a gigantic chaotic sword, slashing towards the Fiery Hell Demon Dragon with a world-destroying aura. Sensing this powerful threat, the demon dragon abruptly turned around, spewing out an even more intense burst of flames to meet the chaotic sword head-on.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Chaotic Breeze Annihilation of the World." A sword aura containing boundless power tore through the air and shot towards the belly of the demonic dragon. Sensing the danger, the demonic dragon lashed out with its tail, which resembled a giant steel whip, attempting to block Murong Yu's sword aura.
The sword energy collided with the demonic dragon's tail, producing a loud bang. The powerful impact caused Murong Yu to stagger back slightly. "Damn it, this demonic dragon's defense is still too strong!" Murong Yu said through gritted teeth.
Seeing this, Zhang Peng once again unleashed "Chaos Overlord's Sanction," and a five-colored light descended from the sky, enveloping the Fiery Hell Demon Flood Dragon. Under the impact of the light, the demon flood dragon let out a painful roar, its movements became sluggish, and the flames on its body dimmed somewhat.
"Now!" Liu Ruoli shouted, unleashing her "Sonic Chaos Storm." The sound waves transformed into a powerful force, forming a massive vortex that swept towards the demonic dragon. The demonic dragon swayed under the impact of the sound waves, its defenses opening up.
Seizing the opportunity, Murong Yu unleashed the killing move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," the "Breathless Breeze Demon-Slaying Slash." A sharp sword aura, carrying the power of the chaotic laws, pierced straight towards the demonic dragon's abdomen. With a "plop," the sword aura pierced the demonic dragon's abdomen, and the dragon let out a shrill scream before its body slowly collapsed.
With the demonic dragon's fall, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, before they could even recover, a sinister laugh suddenly echoed from the Spirit Abyss. "You think you can get the third key? How naive!"
A group of black-robed figures slowly emerged from the darkness. The leader of the group exuded a terrifying aura of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. He held a staff that emitted a black light, with a blood-red gem embedded in it, radiating an eerie glow.
"It's you evil bastards again!" Zhang Peng sneered, his eyes filled with anger and determination. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
The leader of the black-robed men sneered, "Zhang Peng, do you think you're so great just because you defeated a Fiery Hell Demon Dragon? In front of me, you are all no match for me!" With that, he waved his staff, and a black beam of light shot towards Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng swiftly unleashed the "Law Cage" to block the black light. However, the power of this black light was too great, and cracks appeared in the cage under its impact.
"This black-robed man is too strong; we must be careful!" Zhang Peng shouted. He circulated his mid-stage Nascent Soul spiritual power, pushing the power of the Chaos Laws to its limit, attempting to find the black-robed man's weakness.
Murong Yu and Liu Ruoli quickly adjusted their stance, preparing for battle. Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," sword energy swirling around him, ready to launch an attack at any moment; Liu Ruoli played the "Sonic Chaotic Impact," sound waves transforming into tangible blades that shot towards the group of people in black robes.
The black-robed figures unleashed dark magic, engaging Zhang Peng and his companions in a fierce battle. For a time, magical light flashed, and shouts of battle shook the heavens. During the fight, Zhang Peng discovered that the black-robed figures' magic seemed to resonate with some mysterious power within the Spirit Abyss, and their strength had been greatly enhanced within that abyss.
"This won't do! We must find a way to sever their connection with the power of the abyss!" Zhang Peng shouted. He concentrated, using the power of the Chaos Law to sense the flow of power within the abyss. Finally, he discovered a mysterious spiritual energy node in the abyss, the very node providing power to the black-robed man.
"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, let's attack that spiritual energy node together!" Zhang Peng shouted, pointing to a location in the abyss. The three quickly adjusted their attack direction. Zhang Peng unleashed "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," Murong Yu unleashed the ultimate move of "Chaotic Gentle Breeze Sword," and Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaotic Storm." The three powerful attacks converged and shot towards the spiritual energy node.
The leader of the black-robed figures seemed to sense the danger and desperately tried to stop it, but it was too late. The attack struck the spiritual energy node, triggering a violent explosion. The spiritual energy node was destroyed, severing the black-robed figures' connection to the power of the abyss, and their power instantly weakened.
"Now! Give them the final blow!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the strongest attack of "Chaos Overlord's Sanction." A five-colored beam of light, carrying a world-destroying force, shot towards the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader screamed in agony under the impact of the light; his body gradually became illusory, eventually turning into nothingness.
With the death of their leader, the other black-robed figures fled in disarray. Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Although they had won this fierce battle, they had also exhausted a great deal of their spiritual energy.
"We...successfully." Murong Yu said wearily, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Peng slowly stood up, gazing into the depths of the Spirit Abyss, his heart filled with hope. "Let's keep going; the third key must be just ahead."
The group nodded and followed Zhang Peng, continuing their exploration of the Spirit Illusion Abyss. They knew that more dangers awaited them, but they were fearless in their determination to save the cultivation world…
