Chapter 215: The Blood Night Demon Family's Reinforcements
A bolt of black lightning tore through the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar. A massive figure appeared on the horizon, blotting out the sun and moon. The Star Guardian's expression was grave, his gaze like a torch, as if he could pierce through that dark energy to see the true face of the newcomer.
"Not good, it's reinforcements from the Blood Night Demon Family!" the Star Guardian said in a low voice, his tone tinged with worry. He had originally thought that his own power would be enough to deter these remnants, but he hadn't expected them to have reinforcements. It seemed this battle would be even more difficult than he had imagined.
Before he could think further, the black energy spread rapidly, dyeing the entire sky a suffocating dark red. A figure clad in black armor, holding a giant axe, slowly walked out from the darkness. Every step he took seemed to land on everyone's heart, leaving them breathless.
"Star Guardian, long time no see." The deep, hoarse voice echoed between heaven and earth, carrying a chilling pressure.
The Star Guardian ignored him, turning his gaze instead to Zhang Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Cheng, the rest is up to you."
Zhang Cheng nodded solemnly; he knew this was his own battle, and he had to rely on his own strength to defeat the enemy. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. The energy the Star Guardian had injected into his body had completely fused with that mysterious power, forming an even more formidable force surging within him.
"Come on!" Zhang Cheng roared, charging first into the Blood Night Demon Family's encirclement. His speed was like lightning, his figure weaving through the enemy ranks. Every strike he made carried a destructive force, sending those demon soldiers flying. The group, who had been suppressed, saw this scene and their morale was instantly boosted.
"Kill!"
Zhang Cheng's attacks became even sharper, every move carrying powerful momentum. The long sword in his hand seemed to transform into a silver dragon, tossing and roaring in the air, tearing those demon soldiers who dared to approach into pieces. He was like an indefatigable war machine; wherever he passed, he left only a ground full of corpses and a nauseating smell of blood.
"Damn it! How did this human suddenly become so strong!" The envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family was both shocked and furious. He had never expected that the human, who was originally vulnerable, would erupt with such terrifying power.
"Can't wait any longer!" He roared, brandishing the giant axe in his hand, and charged toward Zhang Cheng.
Sensing the strong wind behind him, Zhang Cheng remained calm, turning around to meet him with a sword strike.
"Clang!"
A loud noise, and sparks flew everywhere.
Zhang Cheng and the Blood Night Demon Family envoy were both shaken back several steps.
"Got some skills!" A flash of surprise crossed the eyes of the Blood Night Demon Family envoy, but it was immediately replaced by an even thicker murderous intent. "However, you are destined to die here today!"
Having said that, he raised the giant axe again and slashed down at Zhang Cheng's head.
Zhang Cheng's eyes sharpened, and just as he was preparing to defend with all his might, suddenly, two figures swept past him...
"Zhang Cheng, we're here!" "Mo Yi! Xiao Dian!" Seeing the two who had arrived in time, a raging fire ignited in Zhang Cheng's heart.
"I'll help you!" Mo Yi roared, brandishing the battle hammer in his hand, smashing it toward the Blood Night Demon Family envoy with the force of ten thousand jun. Xiao Dian was not to be outdone, his long saber dancing like a spirit snake; amidst the flashing blade light, he had already cut down several demon soldiers.
The three stood back-to-back, forming a triangular formation, surrounding the Blood Night Demon Family envoy. Their coordination became increasingly tacit, their attacks pouring out like a storm, leaving the enemy overwhelmed. Zhang Cheng's sword technique was sharp, Mo Yi's battle hammer was heavy and powerful, and Xiao Dian's saber technique was unpredictable. The three of them combined actually faintly suppressed the Blood Night Demon Family envoy.
"Damn it! You ants!" The Blood Night Demon Family envoy was burning with rage, but there was nothing he could do. He had already been injured, and now being besieged by the three, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
In the distance, the Dragon Star Sage, with the help of the Star Guardian, saw his injuries gradually improve. He sat cross-legged, his hands forming seals, chanting words. Following his incantations, the surrounding starlight began to gather, forming beams of dazzling light that bombarded the Blood Night Demon Family soldiers on the battlefield.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Violent explosions rang out continuously, and those demon soldiers hit by the light beams instantly vanished into ashes. The Dragon Star Sage's spells were immensely powerful; every attack could clear a large area, reducing quite a bit of pressure for Zhang Cheng and the others.
"Damn it! What the hell is going on? Why did these guys suddenly become so strong?" The reinforcements of the Blood Night Demon Family saw this scene, and their hearts began to drum. They had originally thought this would be an easy battle, but they hadn't expected to fall into such a bitter fight.
Just at this moment, the mysterious elf who had been watching from the sidelines suddenly moved. Her figure flashed, appearing at the edge of the battlefield, and she gently waved the staff in her hand...
The mysterious elf's slender fingers traced mysterious trajectories in the air, the gem at the top of her staff flickering with a faint blue light. Suddenly, the originally clear sky was filled with wind and clouds, and countless tiny bolts of lightning exploded like silver snakes above the heads of the Blood Night Demon Family soldiers. Although these lightning bolts were not enough to be fatal, they contained a strange paralyzing power, and many demon soldiers were electrocuted until their bodies convulsed, their ranks falling into chaos for a time.
"Damn it! What the hell is this?!" The Blood Night Demon Family envoy was thrown into disarray by the sudden change, his already pale face, due to his injuries, looking even worse. He roared, brandishing the weapon in his hand, trying to maintain order, only to find that his attacks were also interfered with by those strange lightning bolts, their power greatly reduced.
"Hahaha, it seems heaven is on our side!" Xiao Dian saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud, the long saber in his hand dancing even more vigorously, splitting a demon soldier paralyzed by lightning in two with one strike.
Zhang Cheng didn't speak, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned ever brighter. He keenly sensed that the appearance of the mysterious elf was an important turning point. Although he didn't know why the other party had suddenly stepped in to help, he understood that at this very moment, he had to seize the opportunity and strike in one go to completely turn the situation around!
"Mo Yi, let's go!" Zhang Cheng shouted, the long sword in his hand like a silver lightning bolt, aiming straight for the throat of the Blood Night Demon Family envoy. Mo Yi also roared, brandishing his battle hammer, and charged toward the enemy like a tiger descending a mountain.
The Blood Night Demon Family envoy was forced to retreat repeatedly by the combined attacks of Zhang Cheng and Mo Yi, his heart filled with shock and rage. He couldn't understand how a mission he thought would be a sure success had turned into this current situation?
"Damn it! You ants, do you think you can defeat me like this? Too naive!" The Blood Night Demon Family envoy roared, suddenly pulling a black crystal ball from his bosom and holding it high.
"Not good! He's going to summon a more powerful demon!" The Dragon Star Sage saw that crystal ball, his expression changing instantly, and he hurriedly shouted a warning.
Zhang Cheng's heart tightened; he knew the real decisive battle had just begun... The Blood Night Demon Family envoy looked at the crystal ball, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he whispered: "Come out, my pet..."
The black crystal ball exuded an ominous aura, the Blood Night Demon Family envoy's voice hoarse and harsh, like a summons from the abyss. Accompanied by his incantations, the crystal ball vibrated violently, and a pillar of black light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds.
"Stop him!" The Dragon Star Sage's expression changed drastically; he knew he couldn't let the envoy complete the summoning ritual. However, it was too late.
The black pillar of light exploded in the air, turning into countless bolts of black lightning, carrying a heart-stopping destructive power, striking toward Zhang Cheng and the others. And those Blood Night Demon Family soldiers hit by the lightning seemed to have been injected with some kind of power, becoming even more violent, their combat effectiveness instantly increasing several times over.
"Hahaha, feel despair!" The Blood Night Demon Family envoy laughed wildly, crazy light flickering in his eyes.
Zhang Cheng and the others struggled to resist the attacks of the black lightning and the frantic onslaught of those violent soldiers, the situation becoming precarious.
"This won't do, we must break through their defense line as soon as possible!" Zhang Cheng said to his companions while swinging his sword to block the attacks.
"But, there are too many of them, and..." Mo Yi's words were interrupted by a deafening roar before he could finish.
A massive black giant beast slowly descended from where the black pillar of light had disappeared. It had sharp fangs and claws, its whole body burning with black flames, exuding a suffocating, terrifying aura.
"What... what kind of monster is this?!" Xiao Dian looked at the black giant beast and couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is the Blood Night Demon Family's war beast, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth!" The Dragon Star Sage said in a low voice, his expression grave as never before.
"Roar—"
The war beast let out a heaven-shaking roar and charged toward Zhang Cheng and the others. Every step it took, the ground shook violently, as if there were an earthquake.
"Quick, dodge!" Zhang Cheng roared, the long sword in his hand erupting with dazzling silver light, and he slashed at the war beast.
"Clang—"
With a loud noise, Zhang Cheng only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, his whole body sent flying, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhang Cheng!"
"Big Brother!"
Mo Yi and Xiao Dian saw this and hurriedly rushed up to catch Zhang Cheng.
"I'm fine..." Zhang Cheng struggled to stand up, looking at the unstoppable war beast, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Even if I die, I must protect everyone!"
Just at this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you!"
The mysterious elf had somehow flown into mid-air, the staff in her hand exuding a dazzling blue light, and a huge magic circle slowly unfolded beneath her feet...
The appearance of the mysterious elf gave Zhang Cheng and the others hope. With her help, Zhang Cheng led his companions to gradually break through the encirclement of the Blood Night Demon Family and began to counterattack. However, did the Blood Night Demon Family have any other tricks up their sleeves, and could they completely turn the situation around and achieve victory?
Just as Zhang Cheng and the others thought they were about to break through the Blood Night Demon Family's defense line, the earth suddenly cracked, and countless black figures surged from underground...
