127: Chapter 127 A Terrifying Finger
Just at this moment, a soldier suddenly attacked from the side, a heavy axe in his hand cleaving out a golden axe Qi, aiming straight for the Black-Robed Figure's head.
The Black-Robed Figure was forced to shift his attention, turning around to block.
"Opportunity!"
Zhang Wen's eyes lit up. With a flash of lightning marks under his feet, his figure instantly appeared behind the Black-Robed Figure.
He concentrated his spiritual energy into his right fist, seizing the opportunity.
"Thunder Wrath: Instant Prison Kill!"
"Puchi!"
Lightning Radiance pierced through the Black-Robed Figure's body; the Black-Robed Figure let out a miserable scream, and his body instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
After taking care of one Black-Robed Figure, Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew the battle was not over yet.
The other Black-Robed Figures had already sensed the danger and attacked him simultaneously.
The Dual Talents were also holding back three Domain Realm Black-Robed Figures, but because the opponents had performed a Fusion with soul fiends, they were temporarily at a disadvantage.
For a time, the entire Tali Mountain area was filled with the flashes of blades and swords, flickering Lightning Radiance, and the incessant sounds of miserable screams and weapon clashes.
Zhang Wen, holding the sky-splitting startling thunder spear, was locked in combat with three Penetration Realm Black-Robed Figures.
He used the speed advantage of Tremor Step Treading Thunder Marks to constantly maneuver and dodge, looking for opportunities to attack.
The three Black-Robed Figures relied on their numerical advantage to constantly compress Zhang Wen's range of movement, attempting to trap him.
"Kid, do you think you can win against us just by relying on speed?"
The Black-Robed Figure sneered, waving the bone staff in his hand, and countless black tentacles drilled out from the ground, entangling toward Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen's eyes turned cold. He suddenly turned around and threw the sky-splitting startling thunder spear toward the Black-Robed Figure.
The Black-Robed Figure thought he was going all out and immediately used his bone staff to block.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Wen was using a feint; with a flash of lightning marks under his feet, his figure instantly appeared to the side of one Black-Robed Figure, and he condensed a lightning fist with both hands.
"Startling Thunder Arises!"
He smashed fiercely into the Black-Robed Figure's chest.
"Bang!"
The lightning fist landed solidly on the Black-Robed Figure's chest. The Black-Robed Figure spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body flew backward.
Zhang Wen took the opportunity to catch the falling sky-splitting startling thunder spear, pointing the tip of the spear straight at the Black-Robed Figure's throat.
Just at this moment, the other two Black-Robed Figures rushed over, waving their bone staffs, and a black beam of light shot toward Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen was forced to turn back to block, which gave the fallen Black-Robed Figure a chance to catch his breath.
He took out a black Medicinal Pill from his bosom and swallowed it in one gulp, and his aura instantly surged.
"Not good! He's taking drugs!"
Zhang Wen's heart tightened. Just as he was about to attack again, he saw the Black-Robed Figure suddenly pounce toward the altar, shouting loudly.
"Lord Soul Master, this Disciple is willing to use my essence blood as a guide to help you descend!"
His body instantly turned into a black light and merged into the altar.
The blood-colored formation diagram on the altar suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
A huge ghost head slowly rose from the top of the altar, emitting a suffocating evil aura.
"Not good! The altar is about to be activated!"
The Dual Talents' faces turned pale, "Quick, stop it!"
Zhang Wen immediately rushed toward the altar, but the ghost head suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a black flame, blasting straight at his face.
Zhang Wen immediately raised his hands to block, and overbearing Lightning Radiance surged forth, remaining in a stalemate with the black flame.
"Quick! Destroy the formation eye!"
The Dual Talents shouted, while simultaneously trying their best to hold back several Domain Realm experts to buy time for Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen took a deep breath and condensed all the Thunder Power within his body onto the sky-splitting startling thunder spear.
The Lightning Radiance on the spear tip grew brighter and brighter, even overshadowing the light of the blood-colored formation diagram.
He threw the spear fiercely; the Lightning Radiance was like a meteor, piercing through the black flame and stabbing straight into the formation eye at the center of the altar.
"Crack!"
The Lightning Radiance accurately pierced the formation eye, and the blood-colored formation diagram instantly cracked open a gap.
The ghost head let out a shrill scream, and its aura instantly weakened.
Zhang Wen did not dare to rest; he continuously condensed lightning with both hands, and beams of Tribulation Thunder shot toward the formation eye.
The crack grew larger and larger, and finally, the entire blood-colored formation diagram shattered with a bang, and the altar collapsed along with it.
The ghost head let out a roar of unwillingness and dissipated into black smoke.
Just when everyone thought the battle had ended, a suffocatingly terrifying aura suddenly swept out from the depths of the altar.
Above the altar, space suddenly tore apart. From a pitch-black rift, a huge, withered-wood-like finger suddenly reached out, pointing straight at Zhang Wen!
The pressure was so strong that it caused Zhang Wen to stiffen all over, unable to even lift his head.
And the Dual Talents and others were being held back by enemies, unable to come to his rescue in time.
At the critical moment, Yuan Hui arrived with his men in time!
He blocked in front of Zhang Wen without hesitation, waving his palm to clash head-on with that terrifying finger.
Everyone originally thought that with Yuan Hui's Origin Tracing Realm cultivation, blocking this strike should be easy.
But no one expected that upon collision, Yuan Hui was shaken to the point where his Qi and blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot.
Perhaps because the space channel itself was unstable, or for some other reason, that terrifying finger slowly dissipated after being blocked.
At the same time, a cold voice came from the other side of the space rift.
"Kid, I have remembered you. It is best if that old fellow, Old Zhan, can protect your life forever!"
Fresh blood dripped down the corner of Yuan Hui's mouth, hitting the cold stone surface of the altar, making a crisp sound, which also caused the hearts of everyone present to instantly sink to the bottom.
No one expected that the Origin Tracing Realm cultivation would appear so vulnerable in front of that finger.
Yuan Hui clutched his chest, forcibly stabilizing his wavering figure.
His gaze stared fixedly at the gradually closing space rift, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness: "Zhang Wen, are you okay?"
Zhang Wen only then broke free from that terrifying pressure, his face as pale as paper.
He looked at Yuan Hui's blood-stained clothes and clenched his fists: "Senior Yuan, it is I who have implicated you."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Yuan Hui waved his hand, his expression becoming serious.
"To be able to strike from across space, the opponent's strength is likely far beyond our imagination. You must be doubly careful in the future."
As soon as the words fell, the Dual Talents and others also finally finished off the enemies and quickly surrounded them.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield around the altar, and thinking of the heart-palpitating aura just now, the Dual Talents frowned deeply.
"Who exactly was that just now? To have such terrifying power?"
Yuan Hui shook his head, his gaze falling on the place where the space rift had disappeared, his tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"Hard to say, but to be able to call the Old Marshal by his name, their identity is definitely not simple."
"We must report the situation here as soon as possible to avoid further accidents."
Zhang Wen nodded silently, but in his mind, that cold voice kept echoing.
He knew that after this incident, he had been thoroughly targeted by a terrifying existence, and he had to develop steadily.
