The remaining Black Shadows finally fell into complete despair. They knew very well that they were no match for Chen Mo. Continuing to resist would be futile, and in the end, they would only be cut down.
So they no longer lunged at Chen Mo. Instead, they all stirred up the strength in their bodies, trying to detonate themselves again. Even if they could not hurt Chen Mo, they wanted to drag someone down with them and perish together with this human.
When Chen Mo saw this, there was not the slightest panic in his eyes. Both hands moved swiftly, True Essence surging at his fingertips. Several invisible Restrictions took shape in an instant, and the formation that had just formed immediately rippled as an invisible pressure shrouded the Black Shadows that wanted to explode.
The moment the Restrictions fell, those Black Shadows were firmly suppressed. Their bodies could not move, and the power they wanted to use to detonate themselves was completely sealed. They could only let out despairing roars, but there was nothing they could do.
Each Black Shadow's body swelled, reaching the critical point right before detonation, yet no matter what, they could not explode. They were just that little bit short. And even when the Black Shadows tried with all their might to draw out the last of their strength, they were suppressed so thoroughly that they could not release it at all.
Immediately after, a streak of Dark Light flashed again, piercing through the forehead of every Black Shadow with extreme speed and precision.
As the last Black Shadow let out a shrill scream and collapsed to the ground, the entire square finally fell completely silent. Only the crackle of burning wood remained, along with the lingering scorched odor and fetid smell in the air.
