PFC Chapter 120 seems a bit off.
Chapter 120 seems a bit off.
Enveloped in golden light, the old man exuded an imposing aura, making Zhuang Yu feel a tightness in his chest, almost unable to breathe.
As he pondered how to deal with this sudden turn of events, a deafening roar came from behind him, and a stench swept over him.
"Roar!"
Zhuang Yu's heart skipped a beat: Shadow Beast!
It recovered so quickly, and its aura is even more ferocious than before!
He turned around abruptly and saw the Shadow Beast shrouded in black mist, its scarlet eyes fixed on him as if it wanted to tear him to pieces.
The surrounding air froze instantly, and a suffocating sense of oppression spread out.
Wang Yao gasped in surprise, clutching Zhuang Yu's clothes tightly, her face pale and her body trembling slightly.
The Shadow Beast moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye it had pounced on Zhuang Yu, its sharp claws carrying a fierce gust of wind, aiming straight for his throat.
Zhuang Yu dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
He could even feel the burning sensation as his claws sliced through the air, and a stinging pain shot through his cheek.
"boom!"
The Shadow Beast's claws slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud bang, shattering the hard stone slabs instantly, sending flying stones hurtling outwards like sharp blades.
Zhuang Yu was secretly alarmed; the Shadow Beast's power was much stronger than before!
He dared not be careless in the slightest and quickly circulated his spiritual power to protect Wang Yao behind him.
Wang Yao looked at Zhuang Yu with concern in her eyes. She knew the danger Zhuang Yu was facing, but she was powerless to help and could only pray for him silently.
The Shadow Beast, having missed its first attack, roared repeatedly and pounced on Zhuang Yu again.
Its speed was faster than before, and its attacks were more ferocious, as if it had transformed into a black lightning bolt, constantly launching fierce attacks on Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu dodged left and right, skillfully avoiding the Shadow Beast's attacks. He didn't immediately retaliate, but instead circled the Shadow Beast, his sharp eyes observing its every move...
"Interesting." Zhuang Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
Zhuang Yu moved like a ghost, each dodge perfectly timed, as if he had anticipated it.
The Shadow Beast's claws slashed through the air, creating gusts of wind, but they could never touch the hem of his clothes.
Enraged by Zhuang Yu's agile movements, its heavy breathing echoed in the air, and its scarlet eyes were filled with ferocity.
It frantically changed its attack direction, its pitch-black body resembling bolts of lightning, constantly assaulting Zhuang Yu's defenses.
However, Zhuang Yu remained calm throughout. His gaze, like a sharp blade, swept over the Shadow Beast, meticulously observing its every movement and searching for its slightest weakness.
This was completely different from the usual strategy of cultivators who would immediately confront a powerful enemy head-on. He was like an experienced hunter, patiently waiting for the best opportunity to strike. His composure made the irritable Shadow Beast seem somewhat at a loss.
Wang Yao stared intently at Zhuang Yu. Although she didn't understand his intentions, she was filled with trust. Her eyes shone with a determined light, as if she were cheering him on.
She knew that Zhuang Yu was not a reckless person; he must have his own plan.
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu paused, a confident smile curving his lips, like a sword being drawn from its sheath.
He stopped dodging and instead suddenly raised his hands, his spiritual power erupting instantly and condensing into a dazzling light in his palms. The light was almost tangible, carrying a chilling pressure.
"Go!" Zhuang Yu shouted, thrusting his palm forward. The beam of light shot out like an arrow, accompanied by a whistling sound, and hurtled towards the Shadow Beast's chest.
The Shadow Beast tried to dodge, but it was too late. The light struck its body precisely with a loud "bang," as if a heavy hammer had hit it. Its body, shrouded in black mist, shuddered violently and let out a shrill scream, filled with pain and resentment.
The Shadow Beast staggered backward, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Zhuang Yu looked at the injured Shadow Beast with a smug smile on his face. His attack was not only a display of strength, but also a perfect combination of wisdom and composure, which deepened Wang Yao's admiration for him as she watched from the sidelines.
"It... seems even angrier..." Wang Yao murmured to herself, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Zhuang Yu did not respond, but his eyes narrowed as he stared intently ahead, as if awaiting the coming storm.
The Shadow Beast was severely injured by Zhuang Yu's attack, and its scarlet eyes were now filled with madness.
It roared in a low voice, its limbs digging deep grooves in the ground, ignoring its injuries, and pounced on Zhuang Yu again.
This time, it was faster and its attacks were more ferocious, like a wild beast out of control, determined to tear Zhuang Yu to pieces.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yu remained calm. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he swiftly formed hand seals. A pale blue light screen unfolded in front of him, with mysterious runes flowing across it and radiating powerful defensive energy.
The Shadow Beast slammed into the light barrier with a loud, muffled thud, causing the entire space to tremble.
The light barrier flickered slightly, completely dissipating the Shadow Beast's recoil. Then, a rebound force erupted instantly, sending the Shadow Beast flying far away.
The Shadow Beast tumbled several times in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground. It roared in pain but showed no sign of backing down.
It rose again, roaring as it charged at Zhuang Yu. This time, it was reckless, as if it wanted to perish together with Zhuang Yu.
"Hmph, a desperate struggle!" Zhuang Yu sneered. He quickly waved his hands, and streams of spiritual energy shot out from his fingertips, transforming into sharp blades of light that slashed fiercely at the Shadow Beast with a whistling sound.
The light blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, like the scythe of death, constantly reaping the life force of the shadow beast.
The surrounding space was also disturbed by the fluctuations of spiritual energy, with dust flying and stones flying everywhere.
Wang Yao watched with rapt attention, excitedly waving her little fists to cheer Zhuang Yu on. Her voice echoed in the air, carrying a touch of girlish charm: "Zhuang Yu, go for it! Beat it! You're the best!" Her clear and melodious voice was like a spring, washing away Zhuang Yu's inner turmoil and making him calmer.
Zhuang Yu felt Wang Yao's encouragement and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He took a deep breath and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body. He slowly raised his hands and a dazzling light began to condense in his palms. The light grew brighter and brighter, radiating a heart-palpitating pressure, as if it contained the power to destroy the world.
"Die!" Zhuang Yu roared, thrusting his hands forward with a vengeance. The ball of light instantly transformed into a massive wave of spiritual energy, carrying an overwhelming momentum as it hurtled towards the Shadow Beast.
Wherever the spiritual energy wave passed, the ground cracked and exploded, producing a deafening roar.
The Shadow Beast appeared so small and powerless in the face of this terrifying power.
It let out a desperate roar, but was powerless to dodge and was instantly swallowed by the spiritual energy wave.
With a deafening boom, the dust settled, and the Shadow Beast's massive body collapsed helplessly to the ground, lifeless.
Zhuang Yu looked at the Shadow Beast lying on the ground, let out a long sigh of relief, and his face was filled with the joy of victory.
He felt as if all his spiritual energy had been drained, and he was somewhat exhausted, but he could not hide his excitement.
"Zhuang Yu, you're amazing!" Wang Yao excitedly rushed towards Zhuang Yu, her eyes filled with love. In her big, bright eyes, it seemed that only Zhuang Yu was there.
Zhuang Yu looked at Wang Yao rushing towards him and slowly stretched out his hands...
Zhuang Yu opened his arms and caught Wang Yao as she lunged at him.
The girl's soft body crashed into his arms, bringing a faint fragrance that relaxed his tense nerves.
He gently stroked Wang Yao's soft hair, feeling the delicate touch on his fingertips, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Wang Yao raised her head, her crystal-clear eyes gazing at Zhuang Yu. Their eyes met, and the surrounding air seemed to become sweeter, filled with a faint, ambiguous atmosphere.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. The two embraced quietly, enjoying the tranquility, forgetting the dangers around them and the mission they carried.
After a long while, Zhuang Yu coughed lightly, breaking the warm atmosphere.
"Ahem, let's leave here first."
Wang Yao realized her lapse in composure, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she nodded gently.
The two continued deeper into the spatial labyrinth, however, the labyrinth seemed to become more complex as they progressed.
The once clear passageway has now become intricate and complex, like a giant spider web, trapping them within.
The surrounding walls are carved with all sorts of strange patterns, exuding an eerie atmosphere that sends chills down your spine.
Zhuang Yu frowned, carefully observing his surroundings, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
He always felt that something was watching them from the shadows, and a strange sense of crisis enveloped his heart.
"Something seems off here." Wang Yao's voice trembled slightly as she gripped Zhuang Yu's sleeve tightly, as if only then could she find a sense of security.
"Hmm." Zhuang Yu nodded, his expression becoming serious.
He reached out and gently stroked the patterns on the wall, feeling the cold touch emanating from them.
Suddenly, his finger stopped on a pattern carved with a ferocious monster that exuded a chilling aura.
"What is this?" Wang Yao asked curiously.
Zhuang Yu did not answer. His gaze was fixed on the pattern, his brows furrowed, as if he were thinking about something.
Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head.
"Oh no!" Zhuang Yu grabbed Wang Yao's hand and turned to run.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yao asked, puzzled.
"Run! It's dangerous here!" Zhuang Yu said urgently, without the slightest hesitation.
The two ran frantically along the passage, and from the space behind them came a series of chilling growls, as if some terrifying monster was awakening...
