Chapter 288 Struggle in the Mist
In the black fog filled with a strange aura, Li Zhao and the other two were completely enveloped, and each other's figures became blurred.
Li Zhao held the purification crystal tightly. Although the light was dim, he still hoped to find a turning point from it.
Although the resonance of the ancient order power in the crystal had caused the black figure to fluctuate, it now seemed to have fallen silent due to the interference of the mysterious mist.
"Everyone, please don't panic! You must stay in close contact!"
Li Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, trying his best to make his voice penetrate the thick and heavy fog in front of him, which was like an invisible wall, and reach the ears of every companion smoothly.
Although he had tried his best, his voice was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool in the dense fog. It only caused a few slight ripples before quickly disappearing.
Su Mengyao's response came from not far away from Li Zhao.
The voice sounded filled with anxiety, yet revealed an unwavering faith and determination: "I'm here! This fog is truly too strange. We must quickly come up with a way to escape this predicament!"
The spiritual messenger on the other side was staring intently at the thick white fog in front of him.
I saw that her eyes of reincarnation were spinning at an astonishing speed, as if she wanted to use her unique ability to see through the thick fog and clearly see what the current situation was.
However, those strange runes hidden deep in the fog, constantly flashing with mysterious light, were like vivid and mischievous elves, jumping and dancing non-stop, wantonly interfering with the spirit user's keen perception, making it difficult for her to accurately capture any useful information no matter how hard she tried.
Li Zhao concentrated his mind and tried his best to guide the power of the purifying crystal.
The time-reversal blade in his hand flashed with dazzling light, reflecting the mysterious glow emitted by the crystal.
At this critical moment, the powerful force fluctuation was like a stone thrown into a lake, and was quickly swallowed and weakened by the thick fog around it.
"Hahahahaha..."
A creepy laugh came from all directions, as if the entire space was filled with the mockery and disdain of the black figure.
"Foolish fellows, you have no way to escape in this fog! All your resistance is in vain!"
Hearing this, Li Zhao clenched his teeth, and the anger in his heart instantly rose.
If they continue to passively take beatings like this, they will inevitably fall into a desperate situation.
So, he began to desperately recall the Spirit Envoy's previous speculations about the power of the purifying crystal.
Perhaps, this magical crystal hides a greater true power that has not yet been fully unleashed.
Su Mengyao was struggling to grope her way forward in the fog. She stretched out her hands cautiously, trying to find the location of Li Zhao and the spiritual envoy.
In order to protect herself and block possible sudden attacks from the black figure, she constantly mobilized the ice power in her body and condensed it in front of her.
As she moved, crystal clear ice walls rose from the ground.
These newly constructed ice walls were eroded by the strange runes in the fog before they could take effect.
In the blink of an eye, the originally extremely solid ice wall melted and disintegrated quickly, just like ice and snow encountering a raging fire.
Faced with such a situation, Su Mengyao was extremely anxious, but she did not choose to give up.
On the one hand, she was still searching for her companions persistently; on the other hand, her brain was working rapidly, thinking of strategies that could effectively deal with the current crisis.
The spirit messenger closed her eyes tightly, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She tried her best to concentrate her mental power and continuously inject it into the Eye of Samsara.
The Eye of Samsara suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and powerful spiritual fluctuations spread out in all directions like surging waves, slamming heavily into the diffuse fog.
Under the impact of this powerful mental force, the fog began to roll and surge slowly, but there was no sign of dissipating.
The spirit user keenly captured the abnormality in the fog. The runes hidden in it seemed to be given life, flashing continuously according to some mysterious and complex rules.
After careful observation and reflection, the Spirit Envoy realized that the flickering patterns of these runes were likely inextricably linked to the source of power possessed by the mysterious black figure. Without hesitation, she quickly conveyed this important discovery to Li Zhao and Su Mengyao through her powerful spiritual fluctuations.
After receiving the message from the spiritual messenger, Li Zhao's heart couldn't help but move. He knew very well that this might be the key to solving the current dilemma.
Li Zhao once again tried to channel the power contained in the pure purification crystal in his hand.
He carefully adjusted the intensity and frequency of the spiritual power input into the crystal, trying to make the light emitted by the crystal achieve a wonderful resonance with the flashing frequency of the runes in the mist.
Once, twice... countless failures did not discourage Li Zhao, but instead aroused a stronger fighting spirit in his heart.
With unremitting efforts, Li Zhao successfully found an extremely subtle but crucial point of fit.
In an instant, the originally soft light of the purification crystal suddenly brightened slightly, like a meteor across the night sky, instantly establishing an extremely subtle and fragile connection with the runes in the mist.
The good times didn't last long. Just as this connection was born, the black figure that had been hiding in the darkness seemed to sense the potential threat.
It suddenly erupted with an even more powerful and terrifying force, causing the runes in the mist to flash faster and faster, intersecting violently like lightning in a storm.
The black figure was still trying desperately to cut off the "bridge" that was built with great difficulty.
Faced with such an urgent situation, Li Zhao gritted his teeth, veins bulged on his forehead, and he tried his best to maintain the already precarious connection.
Su Mengyao, who was standing by, was extremely anxious when she saw this. Not daring to delay even a moment, she immediately used all her strength to mobilize the immense ice power within her body.
She danced her hands quickly, and streams of bitingly cold frosty air gushed out from her palms, quickly gathering and condensing into an extremely solid ice shield that firmly surrounded Li Zhao's body.
With the protection of this ice shield, Li Zhao was temporarily able to escape the crazy erosion of the fog, thus gaining more precious time to consolidate and strengthen the connection with the runes.
A thrilling contest begins...
As they struggled to maintain contact with the rune, a mysterious figure suddenly rushed out of the mist.
At this moment, the mysterious man's body underwent strange changes. His skin became like black crystal, emitting a faint light, and his eyes flashed with a crazy blood-red light.
He muttered something, condensed black energy in his hands, and attacked Li Zhao and the other two.
Su Mengyao quickly condensed an ice blade and shot it towards the mysterious man. The moment the ice blade touched the mysterious man, it was bounced back by the black crystal on his body.
Upon seeing this, the Spirit Envoy unleashed the spiritual power of the Eye of Samsara with all his might, trying to interfere with the mysterious man's actions.
Under the impact of spiritual power, the mysterious man's body paused, and a trace of pain and struggle flashed in his eyes.
Li Zhao took the opportunity to swing the blade of reverse time, and with the power of the law of cause and effect, he slashed towards the mysterious man.
The mysterious man reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways while swinging the black energy in his hand, colliding with the Reverse Time Blade.
The powerful impact caused the surrounding fog to roll violently, and the runes flashed even more chaotically.
Li Zhao and the other two gradually fell into a disadvantage in the battle with the mysterious man, who became increasingly powerful under the control of the black figure.
Just when they felt despair, the spirit messenger suddenly discovered that the black crystal on the mysterious man's body had some tiny cracks during the battle.
She immediately told Li Zhao and Su Mengyao about her discovery, and the three decided to concentrate their efforts on attacking the cracks on the mysterious man's body.
Su Mengyao condensed a huge ice cone, Li Zhao increased the power of the Anti-Time Blade to the extreme, and the spirit messenger released his spiritual power with all his strength to assist the two.
The attacks of the three people hit the cracks on the mysterious man's body at the same time. The mysterious man let out a scream and his body began to tremble violently.
The cracks continued to expand, and the black crystals on the mysterious man's body gradually shattered. The madness and blood-red light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and a trace of clarity returned.
The mysterious man looked at Li Zhao and the other two, his eyes filled with regret: "Stop it quickly! I've been controlled for too long. This is all a conspiracy..."
Before he could finish his words, the power of the black figure swept over again, and the mysterious man's body was instantly wrapped in black mist and disappeared.
Li Zhao and the other two were full of doubts, but they had no time to think. The power of the black figure pressed towards them again, and the runes in the mist flashed with a destructive light.
Li Zhao and the other two resisted with all their might, and the light of the purifying crystal became brighter again thanks to their efforts.
The black figure didn't seem to intend to give them a chance to breathe. It quickly formed seals with its hands, and countless black energy tentacles appeared in the mist, wrapping around Li Zhao and the other two.
Li Zhao swung the Time-Reverse Blade to cut off the tentacles, while Su Mengyao used ice power to freeze the tentacles. The spiritual messenger used all his strength to maintain the power fluctuations of the purification crystal to prevent the tentacles from getting closer.
During the fierce battle, Li Zhao suddenly discovered that the light of the purifying crystal would produce a special reaction when it came into contact with the black energy tentacles, and the light would be temporarily enhanced.
He immediately adjusted his strategy and took the initiative to touch the tentacles with the purification crystal. The crystal shone brightly and destroyed the surrounding tentacles in an instant.
The black figure roared angrily, increased its strength, and its tentacles surged like a tide.
Just as Li Zhao and the other two were exhausted from dealing with the situation, the spiritual messenger suddenly shouted, "Wait, I see it! The source of this black mist is between the black figure's eyebrows. There is a mysterious mark there, which may be the key to solving all this!"
When Li Zhao heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He gripped the purification crystal tightly and rushed towards the black figure.
But the black figure seemed to have sensed their intentions. The surrounding fog became thicker and the tentacles' attacks became more violent.
