Beneath the night sky, dazzling Ice Crystal Spark continuously emitted a dazzling icy red light, appearing like a sacred Snow Lotus fallen from the heavens amidst the ruins littered with rubble, breathtakingly beautiful.
Huo Yuhao looked at the Ice Crystal Spark in front of him, reached out and drew his longsword, holding it upright in front of him.
There was a loud crack!
The next moment, a visible crack appeared on the previously stable Ice Crystal Spark sparks.
With a series of cracking sounds, the cracks on the Ice Crystal Spark spread outwards like a spider web, and in the blur, one could see Long Xiaoyao's body slowly moving within them.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that with each slight movement of Long Xiaoyao's body, the seal of the Ice Crystal Spark shattered a little more.
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Crystal Spark acquired a broken beauty; even though they shattered at the slightest touch, they maintained their noble aura until they shattered with a deafening roar.
"Drink!"
A deep, powerful shout rang out from within the Ice Crystal Spark.
The next moment, the huge Ice Crystal Spark in the distance could no longer hold on and shattered with a roar, countless tiny ice crystals scattering into the air like broken mirrors.
It continuously reflected the starlight in the night sky, captivating Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao for a moment.
Long Xiaoyao raised his hand and twisted his shoulder, causing large chunks of ice crystals to fall off his shoulder.
His elbow still had some icy red fragments, but he didn't care and looked at the three of them.
Seeing that the three were dressed the same, Long Xiaoyao had already guessed most of what was going on and started walking forward.
"I presume you are the people from the Shadow Garden recently, if I'm not mistaken..."
Long Xiaoyao twisted his stiff body, his bones cracking, and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was fighting him.
"You must be Shadow."
A smile played on Huo Yuhao's lips, his eyes cold. He said, "What need is there for a dying man to speak? Under the night sky, your demise is inevitable..."
Long Xiaoyao shrugged dismissively. His long, silver-white hair had turned black at some point, and the wrinkles that had been there before had disappeared.
Long Xiaoyao, who originally looked like an old man, suddenly transformed into a young man in the blink of an eye.
Long Xiaoyao watched as Huo Yuhao across from him rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement in his eyes. "Although I don't know when you appeared, I heard about you back then. It's really interesting that you were able to kill that old guy Mu En."
Huo Yuhao's pupils twitched, and the purple light in his eyes intensified.
From his perspective, all he could see was a scarlet mark between Long Xiaoyao's brows, faintly exuding an aura of carnage and bloodshed, like Asura from hell.
Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao approached Huo Yuhao from either side, their eyes wary, and said, "Lord Shadow, it's a god..."
Huo Yuhao raised his hand to interrupt them, nodded to indicate that he understood, and turned to say, "Leave this to me, you can stay here."
Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya nodded respectfully and stepped behind them, ready to provide support at any time.
Watching the two's actions, Long Xiaoyao smiled and said, " Shadow, I admit you're very strong. Even against Mu En, I'm not entirely confident of victory, but I still want to give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening dragon roar suddenly erupted from within Long Xiaoyao's body!
A black dragon claw swept across the night sky, and countless black scales emerged, directly enveloping his torso and thighs. Among the dragon scales, a dragon head pattern appeared on his chest.
Then, a sound of clashing metal rang out, and the dragon scales on Long Xiaoyao's body suddenly closed up, forming a sturdy suit of armor, which continuously emanated dragon might.
Huo Yuhao watched the change, casually shook his head, and tossed the object in his hand high into the air.
Just as the longsword was about to hit the ground, his right foot seized the opportunity and kicked out accurately, the terrifying blow piercing through the air and creating waves of air.
The black longsword vanished instantly upon impact, and a huge spark ignited on Long Xiaoyao's chest the moment the sonic boom ceased.
Long Xiaoyao's pupils dilated instantly; the long sword had unknowingly pierced his chest.
If it weren't for the protection of the dragon scale armor, the longsword would probably have pierced through it the moment it appeared!
Without time to think, he subconsciously gathered all his Soul Power in his chest.
Despite its desperate efforts to resist, the dragon scales shattered and crackled one by one, bursts of fire shooting out continuously.
Even with all his might, Long Xiaoyao couldn't stop the dragon scales from shattering.
Two dragon hands suddenly grabbed at the longsword, and then the muscles in his arms bulged and the veins popped out. Long Xiaoyao forcefully flung it upwards.
Forced to bend under the longsword's force, Long Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and fell backward, simultaneously swinging his sword-wielding hands upward.
Buzz!
The longsword left a ten-centimeter mark on the dragon scales, then spun and flew backwards into the sky.
Huo Yuhao clenched his right hand into a sword-finger gesture, and the longsword in mid-air stopped spinning and floated calmly in the air. Guided by Soul Power, the longsword flew back to his hand in the blink of an eye.
Long Xiaoyao was secretly alarmed!
"Why is this Shadow so powerful? I couldn't withstand a single attack from it after several attempts. Is that all I can do?"
Long Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment, then slowly channeled his inner energy towards the space between his eyebrows, only to abruptly stop just as his energy was about to be activated.
"That's interesting."
Huo Yuhao chuckled, raised his sword and stepped forward, shrinking the distance to an inch, arriving in front of Long Xiaoyao in the blink of an eye.
Long Xiaoyao quickly got up and retreated several meters. Countless sword lights flashed past, leaving large and small wounds on Long Xiaoyao's body, from which blood flowed incessantly.
" Blue Silver Entanglement!"
" Phoenix Meteor Shower!"
Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao activated their Soul Power, and the Soul Ring beneath their feet immediately lit up.
The thick, tough black Blue Silver Grass bound him to the spot, followed immediately by Ma Xiaotao's long-range attack, creating another clever combination.
Long Xiaoyao's sharp claws suddenly extended, even though his scales were broken and blood was constantly flowing out, his cultivation level of ninety-nine was undeniable.
Ripples appeared behind them, revealing large and small dark dragon heads.
The dragon opened its mouth, and black spheres flashed with electricity. The charge was completed in an instant, and the spheres transformed into beams of light, colliding with the Phoenix Meteor Shower released by Ma Xiaotao.
The two attacks collided, both sides using their full strength, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.
In the collision, the two attacks erupted with Destruction force, their terrifying power coalescing within them. The energy attempted to be released outwards, but was abruptly suppressed by the pressure of the collision.
Unreleased energy continued to condense, showing signs of spiraling out of control.
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, and the long sword in his hand vanished instantly as he prepared to intervene.
Instead of being afraid, Long Xiaoyao was delighted. The Dragon Emperor Heavenly Star Stream continued to be released behind him, and the energy cannons in the mouths of the various dragon heads became even more intense!
Then, a thought crossed his mind.
Black light erupted from his chest, enveloping everyone present, and the Black Dragon Purgatory Domain was activated once more.
The domain restriction lit up immediately, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya instantly felt their Soul Power being tainted by dark energy. Their Soul Power was instantly blocked in their meridians, and they lost the ability to communicate with Soul Power.
A burst of Destruction lightning suddenly shone forth, striking directly at the center of the collision between the two energies.
The energy balance was instantly shattered, emitting a dazzling light!
Long Xiaoyao's figure was enveloped in white light, and he laughed loudly, " Shadow, what will you do next...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Long Xiaoyao raised his left hand and suddenly clenched it, instantly pulling the unconscious Bei Bei into his hand.
After picking it up, he fearlessly rushed towards Tang Ya's direction!
The speed was so fast that even Ma Xiaotao didn't have time to react.
With their Soul Power sealed, the two were like lambs to the slaughter, forced to watch helplessly as Long Xiaoyao approached them.
The balance of energy was instantly shattered, and the terrifying explosion directly broke through space, creating countless spatial rifts around everyone.
Sharp air currents flew out erratically from within, heading straight for everyone's faces without any pattern.
Spatial turbulence!
Huo Yuhao's pupils contracted, and he immediately turned around, his figure flashing as he pounced towards Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao!
A violent explosion rang out, completely engulfing everything, including Huo Yuhao and the others!
