Chapter 197: Reinforcements Have Arrived!

High in the air, Old Fu's figure was like a mountain, motionless.

He calmly looked down at the rolling shadow on the ground below, and in his murky eyes was the detachment of a cat playing with a mouse.

Zhou Huai's gaze was solemn.

This person was very strong.

He was the strongest enemy he had encountered so far.

That seemingly casual strike was enough to instantly kill Moria.

Old Fu looked at him, his voice calm.

"It's over."

"Your profession is very special, the only one I've ever seen in my life."

"Unfortunately, your Rank is too low."

Zhou Huai controlled Moria, slowly raising his head, his silver eyes staring fixedly at the figure high in the air.

There was no escaping.

The opponent's sensory ability was too perverted; his Shadow Stealth was like a child's trick in front of him.

Since that was the case…

Then he would fight to the death!

The next second, Moria abruptly opened his mouth.

Hundreds of pitch-black Devilish Qi, exuding an ominous aura, madly poured back into his mouth like tired birds returning to the forest.

The hideous bloody hole on his chest and his other injuries were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just two or three seconds, Moria had recovered completely as if he had never been injured.

"Hmm?"

Old Fu's brow finally twitched, and for the first time, genuine curiosity appeared in his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

"Interesting."

"Not only did you not die, but you can also instantly heal your injuries."

"You little fellow really have quite a few secrets on you."

Moria ignored his words.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, fingers spread, palm facing upward.

An indescribable terrifying aura capable of swallowing light suddenly erupted with him at the center!

"Since you won't let me leave."

"Then stay here forever!"

His five fingers clenched abruptly!

"[Eternal Night Domain]!"

Hum—!

The world lost its voice at this moment.

And it lost its light.

With Moria as the center, everything within a radius of two kilometers was completely swallowed by a thick, unfathomable darkness that was like substance.

That originally bizarre white thick fog was instantly dyed into the deepest ink color.

The air became cold, viscous, and oppressive.

As if the entire world had been dragged into an abyss of eternal silence with no light, no sound, and no hope.

This was a kingdom belonging exclusively to the Night Stalker.

The moment the Domain expanded, Moria's body also underwent astonishing changes.

Behind him, a pair of huge bat wings composed of pure shadow energy suddenly unfolded.

His body slowly rose into the air, hovering mid-air, confronting the high-and-mighty Old Fu from a distance.

Night Demon state, descend!

"A Domain-type skill?"

Old Fu found himself in this absolute darkness, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

His perception was suppressed.

Although he could still lock onto Moria's position, both range and accuracy were greatly affected.

A Professional in their twenties had actually mastered a Domain-type ultimate skill?

How was this possible?!

Domain-type skills were usually only something legendary powerhouses who had stepped into the threshold of Level 70 had the chance to comprehend!

Unless…

This fellow's profession grade was far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Could it be SS-Rank?

No… how many years had it been since a new SS-Rank appeared in Great Xia Country…

How could he run into one here.

Old Fu did not dare to think further. Looking at the silver-haired youth opposite him whose aura had surged several times over, his gaze became solemn as never before.

"Roar!"

Moria let out an inhuman roar, his bat wings snapping forward, and his entire body transformed into a pitch-black stream of light, taking the initiative to attack!

[Shadow Demon Claw]!

Under the blessing of the Eternal Night Domain, the power of this move was no longer what it used to be.

Dozens of hideous Shadow Demon Claws larger than door panels emerged out of thin air from the darkness in all directions, sealing off all of Old Fu's retreats and clawing at him wildly!

"Insignificant skill."

Old Fu let out a cold snort. Although shocked in his heart, his movements were not slow at all.

He didn't even move, only quickly forming a strange seal with his hands in front of his chest.

"Wind Whisper: Wall!"

The space in front of him slightly distorted, and transparent wind walls composed of high-speed airflow and invisible to the naked eye instantly formed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The hideous demon claws slammed fiercely against the wind walls, but it was like hitting the sturdiest barrier, producing bursts of dull, loud noises before shattering completely.

With his strike failing, Moria's figure merged back into the darkness.

Utilizing the home-field advantage of the Eternal Night Domain, his figure flickered uncertainly, like a true ghost, continuously launching harassing attacks against Old Fu from various tricky and bizarre angles.

However, Old Fu's perception ability was simply too powerful.

No matter how unexpected Moria's attacks were, he could always anticipate them in advance and easily resolve them in the simplest and most effective way.

While easily resisting the attacks, Old Fu spoke leisurely.

"Although your strength is very strong, unfortunately, the gap in Rank cannot be made up for after all."

"If you stop now and obediently return with me, I can consider sparing your life."

Zhou Huai didn't speak.

Answering him were even more violent and dense attacks!

"Obstinate and unyielding."

Old Fu shook his head, seeming to have lost patience.

"In that case, this old man will have to break your limbs first before slowly studying your secrets."

The moment his voice fell, a sharp gleam suddenly burst from his murky eyes!

"Wind Spirit Whisper: Bind!"

Along with his low shout.

Within this pitch-black Eternal Night Domain, countless invisible chains condensed from violent winds were born out of thin air!

Like venomous snakes endowed with life, ignoring the barrier of darkness, they whistled from all directions, instantly binding the rapidly moving Moria tightly in mid-air!

Zhou Huai was greatly shocked in his heart!

He frantically urged the Devilish Qi in his body, wanting to break free from the restraints.

However, those wind chains were extremely tough; no matter how he struggled, they remained motionless.

"It's over."

Old Fu's figure appeared in front of Moria like teleportation.

He extended a withered finger, and on top of his fingertip, a wisp of cyan, high-speed rotating airflow was emitting a buzzing, piercing hum.

"Wind Pierce."

Without the slightest hesitation, that seemingly ordinary finger gently tapped on Moria's chest.

Pfft!

A stream of blood shot into the sky!

Moria's chest was forcibly pierced through with a bowl-sized bloody hole!

[-21450]

A shocking and terrifying damage value slowly floated from above his head.

Even in the Night Demon state, his health points received a fivefold increase.

This strike instantly emptied nearly half of his health bar!

"Cough… cough cough…"

Moria coughed violently, mouthfuls of demonic blood gushing from his mouth, dyeing his clothes at his chest pitch-black.

Old Fu slowly withdrew his finger, a trace of appreciation on his face.

"Not bad."

"After being hit by this old man's move, you're still not dead."

He looked at Moria as if looking at a rare treasure of the world.

"Surrender."

"As long as you cooperate obediently, I can consider sparing your life."

Hearing this, Moria actually smiled.

He raised his head, and in those silver eyes, there was not the slightest bit of fear, but instead full of playfulness and mockery.

He groped out a dark blue potion from his storage space and gulped it down right in front of Old Fu.

His bottomed-out mana value instantly recovered by a large chunk.

"Old fellow, you are indeed very strong."

Moria wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse.

"Alone, I am indeed not your match."

"But who told you that I came alone?"

Before the words fell!

"Raaargh—!!!"

A high-pitched, resonant dragon roar filled with supreme majesty suddenly came from afar!

That sound seemed to contain some kind of power that pierced through everything, instantly tearing apart the dead silence of this Eternal Night Domain!

On Old Fu's face, which had always been calm and unruffled, a trace of astonishment finally surfaced.

He abruptly turned his head, looking in the direction from which the dragon roar came.

Only to see within that endless darkness.

Three figures were rapidly approaching at an astonishing speed!

At the lead was a burly man clad in heavy armor, holding a giant shield, looking like an iron tower.

Beside him was a middle-aged man dressed in black with a long sword slung across his back.

Wrapped around his body were golden, violent thunders full of a destructive aura, his black hair fluttering without wind, just like the descent of the God of Thunder from legends.

And above their heads, a small dragon close to three meters in length, pitch-black all over, exuding the aura of Hell, was circling and flying, its molten-like vertical pupils locking firmly onto Old Fu's figure.

Moria's reinforcements had arrived!
