Chapter 218

This voice was like a whisper from the abyss, carrying a suffocating sense of oppression. The originally noisy battlefield seemed to be frozen in an instant, and a chilling coldness permeated the air. Before Zhang Cheng and the others could react, they felt an invisible force locking them firmly in place.

The Blood Night Demon Family envoy and Elder saw this, their faces revealing flattering smiles, and they respectfully saluted the newcomer: "Welcome, Night Demon Lord!"

The man called Night Demon slowly walked out from the shadows; he was tall, his whole body shrouded in a black cloak, revealing only half a face as pale as paper. His blood-red eyes seemed to contain endless murderous intent, making people shudder.

Night Demon scanned everyone present, finally fixing his gaze on Zhang Cheng, a cruel arc curling at the corner of his mouth: "Are you the one who killed Blood Slaughter?"

His voice was deep and hoarse, but it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

Zhang Cheng endured the fear in his heart, straightened his back, and said in a low voice: "Blood Slaughter committed many evils and deserved to die!"

"Presumptuous!" The Blood Night Demon Family envoy pointed at Zhang Cheng and shouted angrily, "In front of Night Demon Lord, how dare you be presumptuous!"

Night Demon raised his hand to stop the envoy's clamor, his blood-red gaze never leaving Zhang Cheng, as if examining his soul.

"Very good, it's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like this." Night Demon's voice was bone-chillingly cold, without a trace of emotion. "You have successfully aroused my interest."

Before the words were finished, Night Demon's figure flashed, instantly appearing in front of Zhang Cheng. He slowly raised his right hand, a terrifying energy gathering in his palm, and the surrounding space began to distort, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"Be careful!" The Dragon Star Sage exclaimed, wanting to step in to help, but was tightly suppressed in place by the terrifying pressure exuded by Night Demon, unable to move.

Zhang Cheng only felt an irresistible force attacking him, his body instinctively wanting to dodge, only to find he couldn't move at all. He watched helplessly as that palm containing destructive power approached him, his heart filled with despair...

Could it be that he was going to lose his life here today?

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, Zhang Cheng watching helplessly as that palm containing destructive power approached continuously, despair drowning him like a tide. Just at this critical moment, a powerful force suddenly surged within his body; this force was warm and familiar, carrying a trace of Kelinda's aura.

"This is..." A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhang Cheng's heart; he mobilized this newborn force, condensed it on his right hand, and threw a punch with all his might.

"Overestimating yourself!" Night Demon saw this, a look of disdainful cold laughter curling at the corner of his mouth, his attack not weakening in the slightest, but becoming even sharper.

The two forces collided in the air, erupting with a deafening roar, the surrounding space shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any moment. Zhang Cheng only felt an irresistible force attacking him, his body sent flying like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhang Cheng!" Mo Yi saw this, his eyes splitting with rage, rushing toward Night Demon regardless of everything, a ball of scorching flames condensing in his hand, roaring: "You actually dare to hurt him!"

"Overestimating yourself, ant!" Night Demon didn't even look at Mo Yi, just waving his hand casually.

A streak of black energy shot out like a poisonous snake, instantly hitting Mo Yi in the chest. Mo Yi screamed, his body sent flying, falling heavily beside Zhang Cheng, his aura instantly becoming incomparably weak, the originally bright red blood turning into a strange black.

"Mo Yi!" Zhang Cheng struggled to climb up, only to find he couldn't move at all; he could only watch helplessly as Mo Yi fell into a pool of blood, his heart filled with grief, indignation, and despair.

"Vulnerable." Night Demon scanned Mo Yi coldly, as if looking at an ant.

Xiao Dian saw this, his eyes splitting with rage; he roared, wanting to rush over to save Mo Yi regardless of everything, but was tightly surrounded by the surging reinforcements of the Blood Night Demon Family.

"Get lost!" Xiao Dian roared, brandishing the weapon in his hand, frantically attacking the surrounding enemies.

Although his strength was powerful, two fists were no match for four hands, not to mention these Blood Night Demon Family warriors were the elite of the elite, fearless of death. Xiao Dian had more and more wounds on his body, blood staining his clothes, but he didn't retreat in the slightest, because he knew that once he fell, Mo Yi would really be beyond saving.

"Mo Yi, hold on, I will definitely save you!" Xiao Dian roared, his eyes full of determination, his movements becoming even sharper.

Night Demon stood in place, watching all this coldly, a cruel smile always on the corner of his mouth, as if enjoying a wonderful performance...

Xiao Dian roared, the weapon in his hand turning into streaks of afterimages, every swing bringing up a bloody storm. He was like an injured beast, frantically biting the surrounding enemies, trying to kill a bloody path to Mo Yi's side. However, the reinforcements of the Blood Night Demon Family were numerous, and each was fierce and cunning; they surged up one after another, surrounding him tightly.

"Damn it!" Xiao Dian roared, smashing an enemy who tried to sneak attack with one punch, but more enemies took the opportunity to surround him. He was already covered in wounds of all sizes, blood staining his clothes, but he seemed not to feel the pain at all, still fighting frantically. He knew he couldn't fall; once he fell, Mo Yi would really be beyond saving.

On the other side, the Dragon Star Sage and the Star Guardian joined forces to fight against that hidden powerhouse, however, their power seemed insignificant in front of that hidden powerhouse. The hidden powerhouse just waved his hand casually, neutralizing all the attacks of the Dragon Star Sage and the Star Guardian, and then, he took a step forward, instantly arriving in front of the Dragon Star Sage, his five fingers forming a claw, grabbing toward the Dragon Star Sage's chest.

"Be careful!" The Star Guardian saw this, exclaimed, wanting to step in to rescue, but it was already too late.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the Dragon Star Sage was hit and sent flying by that hidden powerhouse's claw, falling heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The Star Guardian saw this, his eyes splitting with rage, rushing toward that hidden powerhouse regardless of everything, wanting to avenge the Dragon Star Sage.

"Overestimating yourself!" That hidden powerhouse sneered, a flash of disdain crossing his eyes, and then, he waved his hand casually again, sending the Star Guardian flying.

"Pfft!" The Star Guardian fell heavily to the ground, blood spraying wildly from his mouth, his aura instantly becoming incomparably withered, clearly having suffered heavy injuries.

"You, too weak." That hidden powerhouse scanned the Dragon Star Sage and the Star Guardian coldly, his tone full of disdain and mockery.

In the distance, the mysterious elf who had been watching this battle, seeing that hidden powerhouse was so powerful, felt her heart filled with fear, and she turned to flee from this place of right and wrong. However, just at this moment, that hidden powerhouse suddenly turned his head to look at her, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said: "Want to leave? Too late!"

The mysterious elf's slender figure trembled under the starlight, those lively eyes now filled with fear. She knew that facing such a powerhouse, any thought of fleeing was futile.

"You..." The mysterious elf's voice trembled slightly, "What do you want to do?"

The hidden powerhouse ignored her question, just walking toward her with slow and heavy steps, every step seeming to land on the tip of her heart, making her almost unable to breathe.

"Could it be, are we really going to..." The mysterious elf's voice grew smaller and smaller, finally disappearing in her throat, leaving only a look of despair drifting in the empty universe.

On the other side of the battlefield, Xiao Dian was almost exhausted. He had more and more wounds on his body, blood having stained his clothes a dark red. But he still gritted his teeth, brandishing the weapon in his hand, mechanically blocking the enemy's attacks. He could no longer see hope in his eyes, only numbness and despair.

"Mo Yi..." Xiao Dian whispered, his voice full of bitterness and powerlessness. He knew he had tried his best, but he still couldn't protect Mo Yi, nor could he protect himself.

Mo Yi's situation was even worse. He was heavily injured, lying on the ground, blood continuously surging from his mouth. He tried hard to stand up, wanting to continue fighting, but he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"Zhang Cheng Big Brother..." Mo Yi used all his strength, struggling to spit out these few words. He didn't know how Zhang Cheng was doing now, but he believed Zhang Cheng would definitely be fine, would definitely come to save him.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, Mo Yi saw that not far away, Zhang Cheng's body, like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"No!" Mo Yi let out a desperate roar, wanting to struggle to crawl over, but his body seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move.

Zhang Cheng...

"It's over." The hidden powerhouse stood beside Zhang Cheng, looking down at him, his cold voice like one from the Nine Nether Abyss, making people shudder.
