Phi-Fic Chapter 231 The Formation is About to Be Broken
Chapter 231 The Formation is About to Be Broken
Ghost creatures surged like a tide, Zhang Cheng waved the long sword in his hand, and every swing brought a splash of blood. The dark blue blood splashed on his face, cold and piercing, but he did not feel the slightest fear, only endless anger and anxiety. Klinda and her companions were still struggling, he had to buy them time!
"Roar!" A ghost creature opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and bit towards Zhang Cheng's neck. Zhang Cheng dodged the attack by moving sideways, and chopped down the ghost creature with the sword in his hand, splitting it in half. However, more ghost creatures came from all directions and surrounded him.
"Damn it!" Zhang Cheng gnashed his teeth. He knew that this was not a solution, but he had no way to retreat. There were too many ghost creatures, and they were fearless. Even if their bodies were shattered, they could quickly regroup and continue to attack.
Kelinda was anxious as she watched Zhang Cheng surrounded by ghost creatures. She endured the pain in her body and swung the whip in her hand, whipping the ghost creatures away one by one. However, her strength seemed insignificant in front of these ghost creatures, and she could only watch Zhang Cheng fall into a bitter battle.
"There must be a way, there must be a way..." Klinda was anxiously thinking about countermeasures while fighting. Suddenly, her eyes fell on a piece of gravel on the ground. It was a piece of black ore emitting a faint light, which was the special energy ore they had found at the edge of the Ghost Star Region before.
Clinda clearly remembered that when she picked up the ore, the ghostly creatures around her became noticeably agitated and seemed to have an instinctive fear of the ore.
"Zhang Cheng, use energy ore! Ghost creatures are afraid of energy ore!" Kelinda shouted desperately, trying to tell Zhang Cheng about her discovery.
Zhang Cheng was in danger from the ghost creature. When he heard Klinda's cry, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart... However, when he felt around his body, his face suddenly changed.
Zhang Cheng thought of the energy ore that Clinda had given him before. He tried to find the ore to drive away the ghost creatures, but his face suddenly changed after he searched around his body. Clinda had given him two energy ore before. He used one to attack, but accidentally lost it during the battle, and the other one...
"Damn it!" Zhang Cheng cursed inwardly. He placed another piece of energy ore in his space ring, but at this moment, his space ring was damaged in the previous battle!
The ghost creatures did not give Zhang Cheng a chance to breathe. They roared and rushed towards Zhang Cheng with their fangs and claws. Zhang Cheng waved his sword and resisted with difficulty, but his wounds on his body increased and his physical strength gradually declined.
"Zhang Cheng!" Kelinda shouted anxiously, but she was powerless. She was entangled by several powerful ghost creatures and could not get away to help Zhang Cheng.
At this critical moment, a golden light flashed, and a tall figure stood in front of Zhang Cheng.
"Guardian of Blue Star!" Zhang Cheng was surprised and delighted when he saw who it was.
"I'm late." The Guardian of Blue Star said in a low voice. His face was pale and his body was covered with wounds. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Senior, how are you?" Zhang Cheng's heart tightened when he saw the injuries of the Guardian of Blue Star.
"It's okay, these are just minor injuries." The Blue Star Guardian waved his hand, his eyes swept over the densely packed ghost creatures around him, his brows furrowed, "These ghost creatures are very difficult to deal with, we must find a way to break through as soon as possible."
Just as he finished speaking, the Blue Star Guardian suddenly groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Senior!" Zhang Cheng was shocked.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." The Guardian of Blue Star took a deep breath, suppressed the pain, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.
As he chanted the spell, a golden light emanated from his body and quickly spread out, forming a huge golden light shield that enveloped Zhang Cheng, Kelinda and others.
The ghost creature attacked the golden light shield frantically, making bursts of shrill roars, but was unable to break through the defense of the light shield.
"Huh..." Zhang Cheng and others finally breathed a sigh of relief and were temporarily safe.
"This formation won't last long." The Blue Star Guardian looked pale and spoke weakly, "I need time to recover my strength."
"Senior, don't worry about your healing. Leave this to us," said Zhang Cheng.
However, at this moment, the mysterious elf surrounded by ghost creatures suddenly raised his head, stared at the central area of the ghost creatures with burning eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I see..." She murmured in a low voice, "As long as..."
The mysterious elf's words were like a flash of lightning, breaking through the oppressive atmosphere on the battlefield. Zhang Cheng heard it, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
"Are you serious?" the Blue Star Guardian asked weakly, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
The mysterious elf smiled slightly and did not answer. Instead, he turned to look at Zhang Cheng, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate his soul, and said: "I believe you can do it."
Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, knowing that now was not the time to hesitate. He clenched the sword in his hand, and with a sharp gaze, he began to search for the so-called "core" among the ghost creatures.
The ghost creatures seemed to feel threatened and attacked more fiercely. They roared and pounced on Zhang Cheng with their fangs and claws, trying to stop him from getting close to the core.
"Get out of here!" Zhang Cheng roared, wielding his sword and killing the ghost creatures one by one. His swordsmanship was sharp, and each sword was filled with sharp sword energy, tearing the bodies of the ghost creatures apart and dissipating into black mist.
However, there were too many ghost creatures to kill or slash. Zhang Cheng had to pay a huge price for every step forward. He had more and more wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he was unaware of it. He only had eyes for the "core" that had not yet been found.
"There!" Suddenly, Klinda pointed to the place where the ghost creatures were most concentrated and shouted loudly.
Zhang Cheng looked in the direction that Klinda pointed, and saw a huge black vortex slowly rotating in the center of the ghost creature, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
"That's the core!" The mysterious elf's voice rang in Zhang Cheng's ears, "Destroy it and you can drive away the ghost creatures!"
Zhang Cheng no longer hesitated, he took a deep breath, mobilized all his strength, and rushed towards the black vortex. The ghost creatures tried frantically to stop him, but he was fearless, the long sword in his hand turned into lightning, killing all the ghost creatures that approached.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, Zhang Cheng used his sword to cut a passage and finally came to the front of the black vortex. He looked up and saw that the black vortex exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it was going to swallow him up.
"Break it for me!"
Zhang Cheng roared, concentrated all his strength on the tip of the sword, and stabbed it fiercely at the black vortex.
"Kacha!"
With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the surface of the black vortex... The Blue Star Guardian looked pale, and muttered to himself as he looked at the crumbling golden light shield, "Time is almost up..."
The cracks in the black vortex, like a flash of lightning, illuminated Zhang Cheng's eyes. He was ecstatic, and he knew that victory was just around the corner! However, just as he was about to swing the last sword, a huge suction force came from the black vortex, pulling him in.
"Zhang Cheng!" Klinda exclaimed and reached out to grab him, but was bounced away by the suction from his body.
"Don't come over here!" Zhang Cheng yelled, trying hard to keep his body steady. But the suction of the black vortex was too strong, and he felt his body being torn apart bit by bit.
“Hahaha, give up!” The hidden strongman of the Blood Night Demon Family laughed wildly, “Do you think you can destroy the core? You will only become its nutrients!”
Zhang Cheng ignored him. His eyes were fixed on the center of the black vortex. That was the core!
"Let's fight!" Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and stopped resisting the suction, but rushed towards the core.
"What is he going to do?!" asked the mysterious elf in surprise.
"He wants to..." Klinda looked at Zhang Cheng's resolute back, her eyes full of worry and admiration, "He wants to use his own power to destroy the core!"
The Blue Star Guardian weakly raised his head and looked at Zhang Cheng's figure, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Maybe... he can really..."
Zhang Cheng's body was spinning at high speed in the black vortex, and he felt his consciousness was gradually blurring. But he still didn't give up, his willpower was as strong as steel, supporting him to keep approaching the core.
"Just a little bit... just a little bit..." Zhang Cheng shouted in his heart.
At this moment, he felt the golden light shield above his head tremble violently, and it was covered with dense cracks.
"Oh no, the formation is about to be broken!" The Guardian of Blue Star exclaimed, a look of despair on his face.
Zhang Cheng also felt the changes in the formation, and he knew that he had no time left!
“What should I do… Am I going to fail like this…” Zhang Cheng felt unwilling.
He looked up at the core that was so close to him, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Try your best and leave no regrets!" Zhang Cheng's eyes suddenly became firm. He took a deep breath, held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and raised it above his head. At this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful force surging from deep inside his body...
