LRAB 1044. Trapped in the Black Mist
1044. Trapped in the Black Mist
"Hehehe, you three are really overestimating yourselves. Become nourishment for my soul mist!" A low voice filled with murderous intent rang out.
The black mist surrounding Hun Mang instantly formed a bottomless vortex, and both Xiao Yan's strange fire attack and Yao Lao's soul power were sucked into the vortex.
Xiao Yan felt that this technique was somewhat similar to that of the Void Devouring Flame.
Just as they were about to unleash its power, they saw strands of black mist, like a spider web, rapidly and densely binding all the energy within, greatly reducing its power.
"If you want to die, then go!"
Engulfing the attacks of the three was far from enough; this was his home turf, and he was determined to take down Xiao Yan and the other two as quickly as possible. With a thought, streaks of black mist shot out like lightning, catching everyone off guard.
The black mist arrows locked onto all three of them at the same time, and the chilling, nauseating aura assaulted their hearts. The weakest of them all, Huo Zhi, felt a strange turmoil rising within him as he faced this onslaught.
She was horrified to discover that the flow of her fighting spirit had slowed considerably. But Huo Zhi showed no sign of giving up, and exerted all her strength to activate the Fire Lotus Karmic Flame.
Xiao Yan noticed her strain and, at this crucial moment, adjusted his strange fire, urging his fighting spirit to nourish the fire spirit.
The three simultaneously unleashed their unique flames, their distinct attributes directly blocking the incoming arrows of black mist. The flames continued to rise, forming the best possible defense.
However, this black mist was extremely resilient. It did not completely disappear even when burned by the strange fire. Instead, it was directly stirred up by the violent battle energy, forming specks of darkness that floated around the three of them.
"Condense!" Soul's deep voice rang out again.
The extremely troublesome black mist shot out again like spider silk. This time, it was not only faster than before, but as soon as the black mist reached Xiao Yan and the others, the remnants of the previous attack seemed to be awakened, and it quickly began to tremble and writhe.
These black dots echoed the surrounding black mist in mid-air, spewing out wisps of fine lines, making every small area the perfect space for their activity.
With constant support and coordination, the area where Xiao Yan and his group were located was now completely surrounded by black mist spider silk.
Although the strange fire could deflect these attacks, it couldn't stop them from expanding their range. Just as Xiao Yan's soul perception was constantly expanding outwards, trying to find some opportunities,
A meticulously planned and long-awaited attack, like a cunning python seeking an opportunity, instantly revealed its ferocious nature.
Target—Old Medicine Master!
This attack started off very discreetly, disguised exactly like a regular black mist arrow, with nothing special about it.
Even up to Yao Lao's front, there were signs that it had been shattered by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame; the black mist at the front had already broken, showing no signs of continuing. It was precisely because of this that Yao Lao made a misjudgment that he shouldn't have made.
But in the next moment, the deliberate attack suddenly launched, flying out at a speed that was impossible to catch!
The arrow, several times denser in intensity, with a sharp, foul-smelling tip, was unstoppable and pierced directly through Yao Lao's protective battle aura.
puff-
The sound of flesh being cleanly pierced rang out, and the blow pierced through Yao Lao's lower abdomen. His original linen clothes were now stained with blood, and the black mist continued to assault Yao Lao. The amplification of his soul power was too great, and Yao Lao couldn't control himself for a moment, spitting out blood.
Upon witnessing this scene, even with his extraordinary composure, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel his blood boil and become extremely angry.
"teacher!"
Xiao Yan spread his five fingers, as if sensing his anger, and the five different flames within his body flew out one after another, transforming in mid-air. The firelight and the glaze light lit up at the same time, and the essence of the five different flames all transformed into ferocious fire beasts.
With the five different flames unleashed simultaneously, relying on the powerful impact of the flames, Xiao Yan instantly broke free from the black mist spider web binding him and finally arrived at Yao Lao's side.
Despite the attack, Yao Lao hadn't completely lost his ability to resist. His soul power surged, shattering the black mist that had pierced his body. Only after Xiao Yan supported him did Yao Lao finally catch his breath. However, the attack had been truly brutal; Yao Lao's face was deathly pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he didn't even have time to retrieve any pills from his storage ring. Yao Lao tightly clutched his wound, knowing that the residual power still lingered there and couldn't be resolved immediately.
"He's too strong, we need to find a way to escape!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's distress, Yao Lao immediately tried to dissuade him.
Xiao Yan finally gave the core of the black mist a fierce look, knowing that for the time being, their strength was far inferior, and he had no chance of winning by fighting head-on. Only when the other strong members of the alliance arrived could they wipe it out together.
"Teacher, let's go first!"
Xiao Yan's right hand surged with devouring power, and a devouring vortex appeared before him. This black mist could be considered the core of the soul light power. Previously, Xiao Yan had been wary and unwilling to devour this energy. Now that Yao Lao was injured and they were trapped here, Xiao Yan could no longer care about that.
"Swallow it!"
The terrifying force of absorption and attraction was unleashed at full power, dragging all the black mist inside. At the same time, Xiao Yan released the Void Devouring Flame Sub-Flame, protecting the other side. The black mist blocking their way dissipated at a visible speed, and Xiao Yan, along with Huo Zhi and Yao Lao, prepared to break out.
At this moment, Soul Mang also knew that this was the best opportunity for him to capture Xiao Yan and Yao Lao. Moreover, he had already taken action and even used the fragment of the remnant soul of the Spirit Emperor. It would be a waste to let them go like this.
He was in top form, his hands outstretched towards the retreating figures of Xiao Yan and the other two. The black mist behind him seemed to extend from his arms, and the solidified tentacles shot out, their goal being to kill the three in front of him completely!
However, this was the Spirit Realm after all, and Xiao Yan and his two companions were not fighting alone. The moment the black mist appeared, many powerful members of the alliance sensed that something was wrong.
So at this moment, the alliance's reinforcements have arrived! Others may still be intimidated by the shockwave of the earth-shattering explosion and the eerie black mist released by the soul beam, and will observe the situation for a while longer.
But the first one to arrive was Qinglin!
Although Xiao Yan told Qing Lin not to come, she didn't take it to heart at all. After all, given the current situation, she wouldn't listen to every word Xiao Yan said. Qing Lin's original intention was to come together, but the previous Heavenly Rank attack had taken a heavy toll on her. After recovering some of her Dou Qi as quickly as possible, she immediately followed in Xiao Yan's footsteps, appearing precisely when Xiao Yan needed her most.
