191: Chapter 191 is time to wrap things up.
"It should be about time..."
Chen Moxuan remained highly alert, skillfully parrying attacks from heroes on all sides while secretly calculating the time in his head.
His eyes sharpened as he spotted an opening, throwing a heavy punch that forced back a Reinforcement Type A-Rank Hero.
However, the prolonged, high-intensity combat, combined with the multiple negative status effects stacked upon him, began to take its toll.
His Qi recovery couldn't keep pace with the consumption, and his movements inevitably stuttered—like a high-speed machine suddenly catching a gear.
The heroes who had been hiding in the shadows keenly seized this opportunity.
From Chen Moxuan's shadow on the ground, a pair of hands suddenly shot out like ghosts, tightly grabbing his ankles.
Simultaneously, as if an invisible giant hand were manipulating the Void Realm, incredibly tough ropes manifested out of thin air, quickly binding Chen Moxuan's hands and locking him down.
The ends of these ropes seemed pulled by some force, automatically flying toward several heroes with Special Abilities that boosted their physical strength.
"Hold on tight! Don't let go!"
"Shadow Controller? Fate-Weaving Witch? When did you two get here?"
The heroes shouted in surprise, but their actions didn't falter. They used every ounce of their strength to pull back on the ropes.
Chen Moxuan let out a low growl, the True Qi in his body surging like a raging river as he attempted to break free from the restraints.
"What incredible strength!"
"Is someone slacking off?!"
It was like a game of tug-of-war. The heroes' veins bulged, their faces turned beet red, and their legs sank deep into the ground from the sheer force they were exerting.
Each of them was capable of lifting tens of thousands of tons with ease.
Yet now, working together, they were barely a match for a single man!
Nevertheless, Chen Moxuan's movements were successfully restricted; he could no longer use his movement techniques as freely as before.
"Good chance! Full output, don't hold back!"
A barrage of diverse and colorful Special Ability attacks shot toward Chen Moxuan from a distance like meteors streaking across the sky.
The energy fluctuations contained within these attacks were several times stronger than those before.
They were determined to seize this rare opportunity to completely eliminate Chen Moxuan.
Chen Moxuan watched the overwhelming assault, his eyes flickering with light.
But in the next instant, he seemed to sense something. His tensed body suddenly relaxed, as if he had given up resistance.
"I thought I could fight a bit longer... game over, I guess."
A streak of ink-black gas emitting an eerie aura suddenly shot into the sky from the top of a nearby building.
It moved with extreme speed, drawing a sharp arc through the air, instantly bypassing all the attacks aimed at Chen Moxuan and landing directly in front of him.
BOOM!—
Accompanied by a dull, earth-shaking thud, a visible transparent black dome rippled out frantically from the point of impact.
The black dome quickly passed through Chen Moxuan, who was closest to it.
In that moment, the ropes binding Chen Moxuan vanished like melting snow, dissolving into nothingness.
The negative status effects that had been plaguing him also vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, the overwhelming Special Ability attacks disappeared without a trace the moment they touched the black dome, as if they had never existed.
In the blink of an eye, a massive black-domed space formed with the black gas at its center, enveloping everyone inside.
"What... what is going on?! Why can't I use my Special Ability!"
The heroes were struck with panic, their faces turning pale.
They felt their connection to their own Special Abilities severed instantly.
For these Transcendents who were born with powerful abilities, this was nothing short of a nightmare.
It was like a person with normal vision suddenly going blind, plunged into endless darkness.
Following the black gas, a figure covered in ferocious armor descended from the sky, landing before Chen Moxuan.
It was Lv Ling.
"Sorry, this is my first time using my Authority at over 90% synchronization. Some issues cropped up."
"Also, you arrived a bit earlier than expected."
Lv Ling's gaze fell on Chen Moxuan, a rare hint of approval showing in his eyes.
"But... thanks for holding out until now."
"Ah!"
Just then, a shrill scream pierced the air.
The Shadow Controller's ability had been forcibly interrupted, ejecting him from the shadow.
He flew through the air in an arc, landing right at Chen Moxuan's feet.
"Yo, an old acquaintance."
Chen Moxuan looked down with a smile at the dazed and confused Shadow Controller.
With a calm expression, he slowly raised a hand and pressed it firmly against the Shadow Controller's chest.
A surge of fire-attribute True Qi, hot as a blazing furnace, erupted from his palm and rushed into the man's body, incinerating his internal organs.
Completely stripped of his Special Ability's protection, the Shadow Controller could only let out a muffled groan before dying on the spot.
"It doesn't matter, the result is the same."
Chen Moxuan looked at the panicked heroes in the distance and said indifferently,
"It's time to wrap this up."
