Chapter 176 We can't let him out.
Xuanjizi's sinister laughter, like a venomous snake's hiss, echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.
He pushed out with both hands, and a black current of energy, like a beast unleashed from its cage, lunged at Zhuang Yu with bared fangs and claws.
The airflow contained countless tiny black runes, emanating a suffocating aura of destruction.
The space itself seemed to be distorted by this force, making a "crackling" sound, like a wooden plank that could not bear the weight.
Zhuang Yu, standing in the middle of it, clearly felt an immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his back. The surrounding air also became thick and viscous, as if it had solidified, making it difficult to breathe.
"Hmph, brat, let's see how you escape this time!" Xuanjizi's lips curled into a cruel smile. He seemed to already see Zhuang Yu being devoured by his magic. He prided himself on his extraordinary talent and mastery of profound magic. In his eyes, Zhuang Yu had only gotten to where he was today by luck. Now was the time for him to end all of Zhuang Yu's glory. He wanted to make this arrogant nobody disappear completely.
However, Zhuang Yu remained unusually calm in the face of Xuanjizi's devastating attack.
His eyes were deep and cold, without the slightest hint of panic.
He smiled dismissively, and with a thought, a golden light flashed from his chest. The light grew stronger and stronger, gradually condensing into an ancient talisman.
The talisman is engraved with strange patterns, radiating a gentle yet firm power.
"Go!" Zhuang Yu shouted softly, and the talisman instantly flew out of his hand to meet the black energy.
"Buzz!"
A crisp buzzing sound rang out, and the talisman rapidly expanded in the air, transforming into a huge golden shield, like an indestructible fortress, blocking Zhuang Yu's path.
The shield's surface shimmered with golden light, as dazzling as the sun, turning everything around it gold.
The originally eerie and terrifying black aura melted away instantly under the light of the golden shield, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, turning into nothingness.
"boom!"
The two powerful forces collided, producing a deafening roar, like a thunderclap.
A powerful shockwave spread outwards, and the entire ruins seemed to tremble.
The golden light intertwined with the black air currents, creating a strange and spectacular scene that left people in awe.
Everything around was illuminated by golden light, as if it were daytime.
Wang Yao stood at a distance and saw this scene. Her face showed shock. She did not expect that Zhuang Yu had such a powerful trump card.
Xuanjizi and Xiaobing were both incredulous; they never expected that Zhuang Yu could so easily neutralize their attack.
Just then, within the ruins, the mysterious guide uttered a whisper, "Interesting... but the real show has only just begun..."
As the golden light and black mist dissipated, dust billowed up, obscuring the sky and shrouding the entire space in a hazy gray.
Just then, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence.
A dark green light, like a ghost, silently burst forth from the dust and rushed straight at Zhuang Yu.
The light and shadow moved with incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning, and arrived in front of Zhuang Yu in an instant.
Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened. He had already anticipated that the guardian spirit of the ruins would not let the matter rest, so he dared not be careless. He slightly shifted his body and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
The dark green light and shadow brushed past his body, bringing with it a piercing whistling sound, like a sharp blade that almost tore his clothes apart.
He could clearly feel the immense power contained within that light and shadow; if he were hit head-on, he would likely be severely injured, if not killed.
The guardian spirit of the ruins missed its first attack and instantly changed direction, rushing towards Zhuang Yu again at an even faster speed than before, like a green lightning bolt.
Zhuang Yu was forced to dodge constantly, his figure like a butterfly fluttering in the narrow space, constantly navigating dangerous situations.
His clothes fluttered in the strong wind, and his breathing became somewhat rapid. Each dodge cost him a great deal of energy.
"Hahaha, what a sorry sight!" Xuanjizi laughed unrestrainedly when he saw Zhuang Yu running around like this.
He crossed his arms, looking like he was watching a good show. In his opinion, Zhuang Yu had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position, and defeat was only a matter of time. He couldn't wait to see Zhuang Yu being torn to pieces by the guardian spirit of the ruins.
Xiao Bing also stood by, smiling obsequiously, occasionally letting out a few gasps of surprise.
However, just as Xuanjizi was laughing so hard he was doubled over, Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped dodging.
He took a deep breath, turned around abruptly, ignoring the relentless pursuit of the relic guardian spirit behind him, and charged towards Xuanjizi like an arrow released from a bow.
"What?!" Xuanjizi's smile froze on his face, and his expression instantly changed from smug to horrified.
He never expected that Zhuang Yu would suddenly abandon his entanglement with the guardian spirit of the ruins and instead launch an attack on him.
This was completely unexpected and caught him off guard.
In a panic, Xuanjizi hurriedly activated his spiritual power, condensing a black shield in front of him. Runes flowed on the shield, emanating a cold aura, attempting to block Zhuang Yu's attack.
However, he was still a step too slow. Zhuang Yu was too fast and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"You..." Xuanjizi stared wide-eyed in horror, about to say something, when he saw Zhuang Yu raise his fist, bringing a fierce gust of wind, heading straight for his face.
"You're courting death!" Xuanjizi hardened his heart and tried to activate the shield.
Zhuang Yu gave a cold laugh.
Zhuang Yu's fist, enveloped in golden light, slammed into the black shield in front of Xuanjizi like a meteorite.
With a muffled thud, the black runes flowing across the shield shattered instantly, turning into specks of black light that dissipated into the air.
That seemingly indestructible defense was as fragile as paper under Zhuang Yu's all-out attack.
Xuanjizi felt a tremendous force strike him, as if he had been hit by a mountain. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tearing through the sky and crashing into the wall behind him with a loud "boom".
The hard stone wall cracked instantly, and spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly, with pebbles falling and piling up on the ground.
Xuanjizi collapsed to the ground, his face ashen. He opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and he could not make a sound.
He never expected that his proud defense would be so vulnerable in front of Zhuang Yu.
His arrogance and pride were shattered by Zhuang Yu's punch, leaving him with only endless fear and resentment.
Xiao Bing was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
However, Zhuang Yu did not give Xuanjizi any chance to catch his breath. Just as he knocked Xuanjizi away, a piercing sound of air being torn apart came from behind. It was the attack of the relic guardian spirit.
Zhuang Yu's pupils contracted sharply. He knew he couldn't dodge in time and could only watch helplessly as the dark green light hurtled towards him.
"puff!"
With a muffled thud, the dark green light struck Zhuang Yu's right shoulder hard, instantly sending flesh and blood flying.
A wave of intense pain washed over Zhuang Yu, causing his body to sway violently.
He could clearly feel that the bones in his shoulder were shattered, and blood gushed out of the wound like a flood, staining his clothes bright red.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and a hint of agony appeared in his usually resolute eyes.
His breathing became heavy, his chest heaving violently, each breath aggravating the wound in his shoulder, causing him to gasp.
At this moment, he was attacked from all sides, and his situation was extremely dangerous.
Just then, Zhuang Yu felt a powerful force stirring within his body.
He gritted his teeth and channeled his spiritual energy...
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth. The intense pain made his vision go black for a moment, but a raging fire ignited in his heart.
He mobilized the little spiritual power he had left, and a powerful force surged from his dantian, flowing continuously along his meridians, forming a dazzling golden aura around his body.
This aura was almost tangible, carrying a devastating pressure that spread outwards.
A loud bang was heard, the ground shook violently, and debris flew everywhere.
The golden aura swept through like a hurricane, forcing the guardian spirit of the ruins and Xuanjizi to retreat repeatedly.
The guardian spirit of the ruins let out a sharp roar, its dark green body trembling violently as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Xuanjizi was in an even worse state. He felt an overwhelming force surge towards him, as if his internal organs had shifted. He coughed up blood and his face turned ashen.
The surrounding ground was shattered, cracks spreading like a spider web, and a thick smell of dust filled the air.
Wang Yao stood at a distance, watching this scene with worry and tension in her eyes.
After defeating the two, Zhuang Yu disregarded his shoulder injury and, enduring the excruciating pain, turned to face the seal.
He took a deep breath and poured the last bit of spiritual power in his body into the seal.
The runes on the seal began to flash rapidly, emitting a dazzling light, as brilliant as the stars in the night sky.
However, just as the seal was about to be broken, a chilling aura suddenly emerged from beneath it, as if some evil thing was about to break through the earth.
The aura was filled with evil and destruction, which made Zhuang Yu feel a chill.
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes blazing as he stared intently at the seal, thinking to himself, "What's going on? What's down there...?"
"No!" the mysterious guide suddenly exclaimed, his voice filled with barely concealed fear. "Stop him! We can't let him out!"
