"Let's finish this quickly!" This thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, and he prepared to use the black flame in his right hand.
Black Flame was extremely effective against the Spirit Clan, but the person before him was not yet at the level of a half-saint and could not suppress Black Flame.
After exchanging two blows, Ling Fengzhui's calm eyes, hidden beneath his ghostly mask, locked onto Wei Jiangyuan. He had already made his judgment on who was stronger between Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan.
The night was deep, and the murderous intent seemed to solidify into reality.
An intense, impenetrable darkness surged and billowed from Ling Fengzhui's body. This was not pure light and shadow, but rather a bizarre entity, more like a mixture of ink and asphalt, viscous like a flowing swamp, yet strangely possessing the elusive texture of black clouds. Even more deadly was that this churning black shadow, like the gaping maw of an abyss, completely swallowed and concealed Ling Fengzhui along with all the fluctuations of his battle aura, causing his presence to vanish from perception in an instant.
Once completely covered, the thick darkness suddenly contracted, condensing into a jet-black arrow that shot out of the bow. Its speed soared to the extreme, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and shot straight at Wei Jiangyuan like a leech!
Wei Jiangyuan watched as Ling Feng charged towards him, but he wasn't in a hurry at all. The speed of a Heaven-Rank movement technique was no joke. In an instant, it seemed as if several Wei Jiangyuans appeared and disappeared simultaneously in the darkness, several ghostly afterimages trailing behind him, making it difficult to track their true forms. At the same time, his palms flew, and emerald flames intertwined in front of him to form a vine totem. A palm print emerged, the very move he had initially used to break the great formation.
Wei Jiangyuan's figure continued to change, and ordinary people could not catch up with him in battle, and could only let him chase after them and release his fighting techniques.
Ling Fengzhui, who was closely chasing Wei Jiangyuan's black phantom, obviously saw this immediately, and then the black mass began to split!
It wriggles and splits like a living creature, with the core cluster dividing into two smaller clusters, which then further differentiate into four smaller clusters.
Four dark shadows, like predators with independent will, emerged from four completely different and tricky angles with a chilling silence and the ability to obscure perception! They did not have violent energy impacts, but they carried a sinister intention to blockade, instantly suffocating Wei Jiangyuan's possible escape space in all directions!
Movement techniques and fighting skills are not omnipotent. After reaching the Dou Zun level, most people can still see some clues. Ling Feng chased the four black shadows without rushing. He only wanted to seal off Wei Jiangyuan from four directions.
At this moment, Wei Jiangyuan was truly in trouble, because he couldn't immediately tell which of the four dark shadows Ling Fengzhui was in. So, he activated his soul perception to the maximum. Wei Jiangyuan knew that Ling Fengzhui himself could only be in one of them, so these four shadows must be different. As long as he could detect where the real body was, he could break through his blockade.
Xiao Yan had already moved closer, especially since he had released his black flames. Wei Jiangyuan was delighted to see this. Although Xiao Yan's black flames might get out of control, their power was certainly something to look forward to.
Ling Fengzhui sensed that Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan were getting closer and closer, so he simply appeared out of the group photo.
"The real body!" Wei Jiangyuan's soul perception immediately recognized that the first thing to emerge from the shadow was Ling Fengzhui himself!
The two dark figures immediately stopped blocking Wei Jiangyuan and headed towards Xiao Yan and Hei Yan. At this moment, Xiao Yan also sensed Ling Fengzhui's experience: he seemed to have known and prepared everything in advance, so the two shadowy figures were always on guard against Xiao Yan. In almost a breath, the dark figures had completely trapped Xiao Yan and Hei Yan.
Enveloped in the shadows, Xiao Yan first felt a sticky and eerie sense of loss of control, but it wasn't a major problem for him. The Crimson Lotus Heart Flame ignited, and the shadows vanished almost instantly.
"Dark attribute." Xiao Yan also revealed Ling Fengzhui's Dou Qi attribute, which is a very rare and special dark attribute.
On the other side, the black flames were even more direct, completely engulfing the shadowy figure. Then, seemingly unsatisfied, it relentlessly pursued Ling Feng, its enthusiasm far surpassing that of Xiao Yan. Ling Feng, after briefly hindering Xiao Yan and the black flames, no longer wished to get any closer to Wei Jiangyuan; this distance was now sufficient for many other tasks.
A hand covered in the same viscous darkness, shimmering with a cold, eerie light, suddenly emerged! Five phantom claws, formed from battle qi and as black as ink, wrapped in a bone-chilling aura, descended.
"Shadow Claw!"
Five jet-black claws were aimed at Wei Jiangyuan, and the green palm print in front of him had become very solid. Although it had not yet completely solidified, Wei Jiangyuan could not wait any longer!
Wei Jiangyuan uttered a low shout: "Crimson Wood Palm!"
As the palm print was unleashed, two major fighting techniques exploded in mid-air, with emerald flames colliding fiercely with the viscous darkness.
Under the immense energy impact, both were affected by the aftershocks. But something easily overlooked was that the fourth dark shadow still rushed towards Wei Jiangyuan. Like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait, it hurtled towards Wei Jiangyuan at lightning speed, perfectly concealed by the firelight and turbulent energy currents.
A sudden, intense sense of crisis arose in Wei Jiangyuan's mind; his powerful soul perception had finally kicked in. He immediately shifted his body slightly, and a sharp blade pierced through his defenses with a deafening crash. The next moment, the ear-piercing sound of tearing fabric mixed with the muffled thud of a blade slicing through flesh rang out simultaneously!
The attack pierced Wei Jiangyuan's right shoulder, and a burst of bright red blood erupted. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and excruciating pain shot through him instantly. Wei Jiangyuan, however, gritted his teeth and remained unaffected by the attack.
"My spirit is as swift as an arrow!"
A silent shriek erupted violently at the soul level! A transparent, highly condensed soul force, like an invisible arrow shot from a fully drawn bow, pierced straight at the solid, dark shadow that had successfully launched a sneak attack!
After successfully striking, the black shadow showed no hesitation, swirling back and ultimately disappearing completely into the body of Lingfengzhui, who was maintaining control of the situation.
Not all of Ling Fengzhui's illusory images were feints. While two of them were indeed feints with only faint battle aura, the illusory image he himself was in served as a second layer of cover. The essence of his battle technique lay in the final illusory image that injured Wei Jiangyuan. After Wei Jiangyuan and Ling Fengzhui clashed, Wei Jiangyuan would inevitably relax, and that would be the perfect opportunity for Ling Fengzhui to launch his attack.
Only by mixing truth and falsehood can such results be achieved in a short period of time.
