Chapter 196 Shadowy Pressure and a Desperate Gamble
In the increasingly oppressive darkness of the black hole, the shadowy figure, like a moving, colossal dark mountain, slowly approached, exuding a chilling pressure. The dark power surrounding it surged and roared like a black tsunami, the air emitting sharp, mournful cries as if lamenting impending destruction. The shadowy figure's eyes, flashing with an eerie red light, were like ghostly fire from hell, fixedly staring at the group, radiating boundless malice and killing intent.
Huanmo felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him like a mountain, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. His heart pounded wildly, each beat feeling like a hammer blow to his chest. "Everyone, stay calm! Don't panic!" he shouted, trying to boost his companions' morale, though his voice was so small in the darkness and the commotion. At this moment, his heart was filled with tension and anxiety. He knew that everyone was in a very unfavorable situation. Facing the shadow's more powerful form, a fierce battle was inevitable, and they had to find a way to break the deadlock.
Wanru endured the pain and struggled to stand up. Her legs trembled slightly, as if they might give way at any moment. "Huanmo, what should we do?" Her voice trembled, fear spreading through her, but she tried to remain calm, hoping Huanmo could come up with a solution.
The woman in white gently stroked the guqin, trying to draw strength from the strings, but her fingers were somewhat unresponsive due to the pain. "We can't sit idly by and wait for death; we must take the initiative." Her voice was firm, but a hint of worry was revealed in her eyes. She knew that taking the initiative meant greater risks, but at this moment, she had no other choice.
Ling'er clutched the book tightly, tears welling in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "Brother Huanmo, I will fight alongside everyone." Her voice carried a touch of childish determination; although her heart was filled with fear, the courage of her companions gave her strength.
The mysterious man frowned, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. Soft rays of light emanated from him, surrounding the group and forming a faint shield. "This shield can temporarily withstand the shadow's attacks. We need to find a way to break through its defenses as soon as possible." His voice was steady and powerful, bringing a glimmer of hope to the group.
Huanmo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He looked at the shadowy figure, quickly recalling every detail of the previous battle. Suddenly, he remembered the shadowy figure's strong reaction when he attacked its chest, and the subtle connection between the scroll runes and the shadowy figure. "Listen up, everyone, we'll still target the shadowy figure's chest. Ling'er, concentrate and try to activate the hidden power of the scroll to see if you can interfere with the shadowy figure's movements; Wanru, use your wind blades to restrain the shadowy figure and look for an opportunity to attack its eyes to distract it; White-clad girl, use your zither music to disrupt the shadowy figure's dark power and create an opportunity for us; Mysterious Senior, please protect me, I'm prepared to launch a full-force attack at the crucial moment." He quickly made his arrangements, his eyes revealing a desperate determination.
Everyone nodded, preparing to act. Ling'er closed her eyes tightly, concentrating all her energy, trying to unleash the hidden power of the scroll. Her face flushed red, and sweat streamed down her forehead. "Scroll, please help us..." she prayed silently in her heart.
Wanru placed the jade flute to her lips and began to play a stirring battle song. Spiritual energy blades rained down on the shadowy figure like a storm, but the figure merely swayed slightly, and the blades were easily neutralized by the surrounding dark energy. Undeterred, Wanru continued playing, searching for the shadowy figure's weakness.
The woman in white played the guqin, its melodies melodious and mysterious. Waves of spiritual energy, like a gentle stream, surged towards the dark figure. The energy waves weaved through the figure's dark power, attempting to disrupt its flow. The figure seemed affected; its movements became somewhat sluggish.
Just then, Ling'er suddenly cried out, "Brother Huanmo, I feel the power of the scroll is increasing!" The scroll emitted a strong golden light, within which ancient runes faintly appeared, slowly drifting towards the dark figure.
The shadowy figure seemed to sense the danger. It let out an angry roar, and the dark power around its body instantly condensed into countless sharp black spears, which shot towards the group.
"Everyone be careful!" Huanmo shouted, quickly channeling his spiritual power into the shield. The mysterious man also increased his spiritual power output, and the shield flickered under the impact of the black spear.
With the shield on the verge of shattering, the shadowy figure's attacks intensifying, and the group's plan just beginning to unfold, could they successfully activate the hidden power of the scroll before the shield broke, disrupting the shadow's actions? Could they seize the opportunity to break through the shadow's defenses and deliver a fatal blow to its chest? Could they reverse the tide of battle at this critical moment and escape this terrifying abyss? Everything was fraught with uncertainty and danger, and the group's fate was once again pushed to the brink...
