Chapter 911: The Bewildered King of the Dark Night (Second update, requesting everything)

Dou Cangqiong waited quietly for the opportunity, waiting for the moment of the day when the Yin energy was most vigorous, for only then would there be greater power.

If Li Zhangsheng's growth speed were not too astonishing, Dou Cangqiong would not be taking a risk at this time; he might have delayed it until mid-July to set up the altar and perform the ritual, because mid-July can be said to be the time of year when Yin energy is most vigorous.

It is unknown how much time passed, but suddenly, the sound of large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate rang out from the jade plate, totaling seven times.

This jade plate belongs to the auxiliary type of Strange Treasure, and it only makes a sound when the Yin energy of the day is most vigorous.

"Li Zhangsheng, it seems that even Heaven does not protect you!"

Dou Cangqiong let out a hearty laugh, and the gloom in his heart seemed to dissipate quite a bit.

The more times the jade plate makes a sound, the more vigorous the Yin energy is, with nine times being the maximum.

It can be said that seven times is already considered quite high.

The next moment, Dou Cangqiong set up the altar and performed the ritual; Li Zhangsheng's hair and flesh flew out one after another, falling evenly into four oil lamps burning with green flames.

These green flames are called Nine Nether Fire, a type of flame from Hell, and they are also the key to the Nine Nether Voodoo Technique.

The green flames burned fiercely, and in the blink of an eye, the hair and flesh vanished completely, with wisps of aura emerging, which then condensed together and slowly transformed into a phantom of Li Zhangsheng.

It was also at this moment that Dou Cangqiong pinched a Seal Technique, and Li Zhangsheng's phantom moved, making contact with the paper doll.

The instant the two touched, Li Zhangsheng's phantom entered the paper doll and disappeared.

At the same time, the color of the paper doll changed, shifting from a ghastly white to a blood red; the name on its chest twisted continuously, and a strange arc even appeared at the corners of its mouth, giving people an eerie feeling.

Only then did Dou Cangqiong solemnly take out a small box containing a Great Heavenly Cycle number of silver needles.

These are not ordinary silver needles; each one belongs to a Strange Treasure, and the preciousness of this set of silver needles is no worse than a Lower-Grade World Wonder; it is also a legacy treasure that Dou Cangqiong obtained from the Ruins of the Curse King.

Under Dou Cangqiong's control, the twelve silver needles hovered slightly, and a large amount of Mental Power condensed upon them, emitting a strong milky-white luster as they pierced toward the major acupoints on the paper doll's head.

However, as the silver needles approached the paper doll, Dou Cangqiong felt a powerful resistance.

"A soul-type World Wonder!"

Dou Cangqiong's expression changed slightly; fragments vaguely appeared in his mind: a Crystal Ball was automatically protecting Li Zhangsheng's soul, blocking the silver needles from advancing. There was also a dark golden Copper Bell constantly tolling, causing his head to ache.

Not only that, Li Zhangsheng's soul was also covered by a thin film, and near the Soul Light Sphere, there were three light spheres—one large and two small—circling and guarding it.

This dense soul defense made even Dou Cangqiong's scalp tingle, but the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, which forced him to increase the consumption of his Mental Power.

After receiving support from Dou Cangqiong, the silver needles withstood the offensive of the Copper Bell and successfully rushed through the soul defense formed by the Original Light.

Even so, the light continuously emitted by the Original Light fell upon the silver needles, making them seem as if they had fallen into a quagmire, and their speed and momentum dropped by a notch.

The next moment, the silver needles landed on the Soul Barrier.

This time, the twelve silver needles successfully penetrated the Soul Barrier, but they became tremulous, and the Mental Power attached to them was more than half depleted.

Dou Cangqiong bit the bullet and increased the input of Mental Power, causing the silver needles to stabilize temporarily as they continued to charge toward Li Zhangsheng's Soul Light Sphere.

However, at this moment, Dou Cangqiong seemed to hear the cry of a bird; the smaller five-colored light sphere rushed toward the twelve silver needles first, and a phantom of a five-colored peacock was vaguely visible.

In an instant, the two collided, and then Dou Cangqiong felt a powerful suction; while passing through the five-colored light sphere, three of the silver needles vanished.

At this time, the second smaller water-blue light sphere rushed over, and a phantom of a Black Tortoise was vaguely visible.

During the penetration process, Dou Cangqiong clearly felt huge resistance, which forced him to continue increasing the consumption of his Mental Power.

Dou Cangqiong's expression turned slightly pale, his body swayed, and he had lost more than half of his Mental Power.

How strong is the Mental Power of a Double-Character King, not to mention its quality? Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng's soul defense methods were too many and too strong, which led to Dou Cangqiong's current predicament.

Under Dou Cangqiong's support, the remaining nine silver needles barely penetrated the water-blue light sphere and continued to charge tremulously toward Li Zhangsheng's Soul Light Sphere.

However, at this moment, the largest earthy-yellow light sphere rushed over, and this time, Dou Cangqiong could clearly see a monster with fifty heads and one hundred arms.

"Giant!"

Dou Cangqiong's expression instantly turned ugly, but he still tried his best to control the nine silver needles to rush over.

By this point, it was impossible for Dou Cangqiong to give up, because the consequences of giving up early were no different from failure, and he would suffer a strong backlash.

Roar~

Dou Cangqiong vaguely heard a roar; his body swayed significantly, his head ached, and his seven orifices began Liuxue.

By the time he regained his clarity, only five of the remaining nine silver needles were left, and they were in a state of continuous collapse, which would not last long before they perished.

Dou Cangqiong endured the dizziness, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly input Mental Power into the silver needles, causing them to continue moving forward.

However, he discovered that his Mental Power consumption was too great; if he continued, he feared these five silver needles would not be able to pass this hurdle at all.

Under these circumstances, Dou Cangqiong immediately abandoned four silver needles and condensed all the remaining Mental Power in a swarm onto the final silver needle.

In the blink of an eye, the four silver needles that did not receive subsequent support disappeared.

Pop~

The final silver needle finally broke through the Giant's light sphere and immediately pierced straight into Li Zhangsheng's Soul Light Sphere.

"Success!"

Dou Cangqiong showed joy, but the next moment, his face turned deathly pale, and he opened his mouth to spray a large mouthful of blood.

Dai Kingdom, Storm Fortress!

When Dou Cangqiong was setting up the altar and performing the ritual, Li Zhangsheng's sixth sense made him immediately look inward at his Consciousness Sea, where he saw twelve illusory silver needles suddenly appear, stabbing toward his Soul Light Sphere.

Li Zhangsheng reacted immediately, trying his best to block these silver needles, but he was still breached by the final silver needle after it broke through layers of defense.

At the critical moment, Li Zhangsheng resolutely detonated a Yinhun Wood Pendant hanging around his neck.

This was a pendant carved from Yinhun Wood Wood Heart, and it had even been subjected to some Restrictions by Li Zhangsheng, reaching the level of a Strange Treasure and possessing the ability to Guard the soul, though this ability was far inferior to the Original Light.

However, with the self-detonation, the pendant exerted power far exceeding its usual level, causing the final silver needle to pause for a moment, only to be blasted apart by the Giant light sphere that had caught up.
