Chapter 257 The Power of Annihilation
The disheveled man was still somewhat hesitant and dared not leap out directly to launch an attack. Instead, he summoned a talisman at a very close distance, then condensed a spell with one hand. As the spiritual energy rippled, a miniature storm faintly appeared in his hand.
The talisman appeared first, but the storm arrived first. After leaving the man's palm, it expanded at a terrifying speed, sucking in all the surrounding air. Zhong Ming, who was closest to it, not only felt a powerful suction force behind him, as if all the air in the world was pushing him backward, but also had difficulty breathing.
He closed his mouth tightly, switched to breathing with an oxygen stone, and forcefully swung his spear down.
Because of the suction, his movements were slowed down considerably, his attacks were dodged by the enemy, and the barbs of his hook-and-sickle spear were driven hard into the ground.
The surrounding vegetation swayed in the strong wind, and many were uprooted and flew behind him.
The terrifying suction force plowed a deep trench in the ground with the hook-and-sickle spear, and the two feet also dragged long tracks on the ground.
Even a fool could tell that what lay behind was dangerous.
The merman in front took a step back, then charged forward like a cannonball, its bone knife positioned at an odd angle, poised to strike.
He did not seek to kill Zhong Ming, but only to strike Zhong Ming head-on and send him into the storm behind.
He had calculated it correctly; Zhong Ming would have no choice but to take this hit.
Zhong Ming is now extremely tense. The shift in the balance of power can happen in an instant, just as it did just now.
He lowered his center of gravity, swiftly pulled the hook-and-sickle spear from the ground, and held it horizontally in front of him, ready to unleash a powerful strike.
Seeing this, An Yun couldn't help but feel a little happy. Since you're prepared to take my attack head-on, then I'll grant your wish.
Let me fall into the storm.
Dark Cloud adjusted the angle, raised the bone knife above his head, and slashed down fiercely with a powerful strike. Don't ask why he didn't sweep horizontally. What if he swept someone away and knocked them out of the storm's range?
We'll just have to fight it out.
As the sword struck, he immediately sensed something was wrong.
Why does it feel so soft?
All I saw was the person in front of me swinging both arms to the right... no, to be precise, the gun barrel didn't move, but his feet were firmly rooted to the ground like old trees, and his body shifted to one side.
The movement resembles a simple crouching stance, but with the left arm exerting force and the right arm retracting, it twists as the knife thrusts forward.
The force shifted instantly to one side, causing An Yun to lose her balance and stumble forward.
Hehe, just then, Zhong Ming's right thigh was lying underneath, and he was about to trip over it.
He barely managed to stop himself, and was just about to look for an opportunity to flip the blade and counterattack when he noticed that the "head" of the gun at the end of Zhong Ming's right hand was conical.
'Oh no, that's a spear.' By the time he realized it, the hook-and-sickle spear was already spinning and slamming into his back, the barbs hitting him hard. At that moment, his forward momentum was unstoppable.
He was tripped by Zhong Ming's leg and rolled forward at an accelerated speed, the suction force of the raging storm becoming more and more terrifying as time went on.
It was at this moment that Zhong Ming finally had time to see what was happening behind him.
At a glance, the terrifying storm had stirred up countless withered branches and leaves, and soil and rocks were being forcefully sucked up.
Looking closely, at the center of the storm, floated a thick talisman. At this moment, golden patterns were slowly moving across its ancient, dark brown talisman paper, about to cover the entire talisman.
Good heavens!
He could no longer hesitate. All his spiritual power converged on his hands, which were forming a hand seal, and he controlled the mother and child swords to fly behind him, pushing against his back. With a burst of strength from his legs, he fled forward frantically.
On the other side, An Yun was almost stunned with fear.
How did I become the prey?
Only by witnessing the power of this killing move firsthand could he feel such fear. Before this, they had already used this move to kill countless enemies... However, back then they could use magic normally to restrain their enemies.
He steeled his resolve, gave up resisting, and his body was sucked into the storm by the gale. Countless clods of earth and leaves blocked others' view of him.
Dark Clouds acted decisively, scattering their scales.
The scales, like butterflies dancing in the wind, began to flutter in the air the moment he released the restraints of his spiritual power, giving him a brief blind spot in his vision.
Now! Earth Release!
He desperately activated his most proficient magic, recklessly burrowing deeper into the earth.
At this moment, the slovenly man had already appeared in the distance. No matter how good his magic was, it couldn't withstand damage. Although others couldn't see him, he would still be damaged by the explosion. So after throwing out the talisman, he ran away as fast as he could.
At this moment, seeing Captain Dark Cloud being sucked into it, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Before he could think further, the talisman collapsed.
Darkness, endless darkness, absolute darkness. A gigantic black sphere appeared at the very center of the storm, annihilating anything that was sucked in.
"This is..." Matt stared at the sphere in utter shock. "The Darkest Annihilation Talisman? No, this is a degraded version." His heart pounded. The original Darkest Annihilation Talisman was a talisman used by Nascent Soul cultivators, containing the powers of both the Dark Dao and the Annihilation Dao, capable of easily annihilating an enemy's Dao Domain. This one, however, was probably...
Although it may look impressive, it is still quite powerful.
This strange phenomenon lasted only three breaths before disappearing.
As the storm subsided, a huge circular crater appeared on the ground, leaving behind a crowd filled with horror.
Zhong Ming collapsed to the ground; he had almost died there.
The battlefield fell silent for a moment, followed by an even more intense clang of metal clashing.
Taking advantage of the moment when a merman seized the opportunity to get close to Akame, he suddenly appeared from behind Akame. Just then, Akame's great bow blocked the opponent's weapon, and Matt took the opportunity to sweep his sword horizontally.
The other person groaned, and when he looked down again, he saw that his body had been broken in two.
"Blood Shadow Spell!"
Matt heard the other person shout out four words in perfect, clear pronunciation, which were in Yunzhou dialect.
The enemy in front of him vanished instantly, his entire body exploding, countless scales flying out, with as many as three piercing into Matt's body.
Looking again at Akame, her clothes were torn, revealing her close-fitting treasure robe. Although it blocked the scales, the impact was still transmitted to her body, causing her to hunch over and be unable to get up for a moment.
It was during this attack that Yue Kaishan and the second captain suddenly found that the enemy in front of them had vanished without a trace.
The battle ended abruptly, as abruptly as a torn scroll slowly unfolding, only to reveal at the very end that the end came without any reason.
