Chapter 94: Zuo Daolin’s Horror

Amidst the cyan storm, Zuo Daolin's figure bobbed like a lonely boat in the raging waves.

Countless solid wind blades let out a sharp whistle, slashing in from all directions.

"Hehehe…"

The hoarse laughter pierced through the roar of the storm.

Wisps of thick black mist overflowed from the ferocious ghost face mask on his face, lingering around his body.

"Ding! Ding! Clang! Clang!"

The wind blades slashed against the black mist, producing a crisp sound of metal clashing, only to be swallowed by the black mist and vanish into nothingness.

The black mist grew more and more, becoming thicker and thicker.

They surged and roared, rapidly staining the heaven-reaching cyan storm with an ominous layer of ink black.

In the end, all the black mist converged together.

At the center of the storm, it condensed into an incomparably huge creature phantom.

The phantom took the shape of a giant beast, with two horns on its head and sharp claws on its body. Its entire body was composed of countless twisted and wailing Souls, exuding a disgusting malice and despair.

It opened its giant mouth, completely wrapping Zuo Daolin's figure and sheltering him within.

No matter how the storm raged, it could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Zhou Huai quietly watched this scene through Gandalf's perspective, his brows furrowing.

He could clearly feel that countless Souls were painfully wailing within that huge phantom.

There were those of humans, as well as exotic beasts.

They were forcibly blended together, forming a sinister and powerful force.

"A barrier built with Souls?"

"Not a bad idea."

Zhou Huai let out a cold sneer.

"Unfortunately, you met me."

Without the slightest hesitation, he quickly issued a new command to the smart core ai.

In the valley, Gandalf slowly raised the Flame Explosion Core in his hand.

"[Forbidden Spell: Meteor Fire Rain]!"

In the sky, five huge meteorites burning with dim green flames formed once more, whistling and smashing into the black storm.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The meteorites crashed onto the giant beast phantom and exploded with a bang.

The dim green flames instantly covered the entire body of the phantom, beginning to burn wildly.

"Sizzling—!"

It was like a glacier encountering scalding magma.

That huge phantom composed of countless Souls actually began to melt and dissolve rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah—!"

"Awoo—!"

Inside the phantom, extremely shrill screams of countless Souls emanated.

They rolled and struggled in the green flames, as if enduring the most extreme pain in the world.

Zuo Daolin, wrapped by the phantom, suddenly changed his expression drastically.

"What kind of flame is this?!"

He cried out in alarm, his voice filled with disbelief.

"It can actually burn the Soul directly!"

"I really underestimated you!"

He crazily urged his power, black mist continuously pouring out from his body, attempting to extinguish those green flames.

But the green flames were extremely bizarre; upon encountering the black mist, they burned even more fiercely.

The volume of the giant beast phantom was shrinking rapidly, becoming more and more unstable.

The bizarre mask on Zuo Daolin's face also emitted click-click sounds at this moment.

Dense, fine cracks rapidly spread across the mask.

Just at this moment.

A crisp female voice abruptly rang out from the mask, carrying a bit of urgency.

"Zuo Daolin, are you done?"

"Open the spatial coordinates, I am about to open the teleportation channel."

Zuo Daolin's eyes were gloomy.

"Wait!"

"I might still need a little time!"

The female voice sounded again, her tone growing increasingly anxious.

"There is not much time left!"

"The military's Formation Great Masters have already begun to reverse-crack our spatial interference!"

"At most five more minutes, and they will be able to lock onto Triple Island. By then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"

"Understood."

Beneath the mask, Zuo Daolin's eyes instantly turned gloomy and crazed.

"…"

Outside the valley.

That group of controlled examinees were originally standing in place with dull expressions.

At this moment, as if suffering some invisible attack, they suddenly let out shrill screams in unison, collapsing to the ground while twisting all over.

They curled up their bodies, their whole bodies twitching violently, their faces as pale as paper, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Strands of pure energy were being forcibly extracted from their bodies, transforming into streams invisible to the naked eye, crossing space and crazily surging towards the depths of the valley.

Until everyone became extremely weak and listless, this terrifying extraction barely stopped.

At the same time.

Inside the valley, Zuo Daolin's Aura suddenly climbed, instantly reaching a brand new height.

"Roar—!"

He let out a non-human roar towards the sky.

That giant beast phantom, which had already shrunk by more than half, instantly swelled in size several times over under the infusion of boundless energy.

It suddenly opened its giant mouth and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

The violent sound waves actually forcibly shattered and dispersed the surrounding cyan storm completely!

"Hahahaha!"

Zuo Daolin laughed madly, his voice hoarse and distorted.

"You forced this on me!"

The next second, that huge giant beast phantom, disregarding the green flames still burning on its body, transformed into a black torrent, surging fiercely towards Gandalf.

Gandalf did not dodge.

Nor was there anywhere to dodge.

He had already reached his limit.

[Arcane Barrier]!

A layer of crystalline shield surfaced once more.

However, under the impact of the black torrent, violent ripples stirred on the surface of the shield.

The shield value was crazily reduced at an unprecedented speed.

It only supported for less than ten seconds.

"Crack—!"

The Arcane Barrier shattered at the sound, transforming into points of light all over the sky.

An invisible black giant hand reached out from the torrent and grabbed Gandalf by the neck.

He laughed wantonly and wildly.

"You still lost after all."

"Be a good boy and come with me!"

After saying that, countless sticky black qi surged out from his palm, crazily invading Gandalf's body along his neck.

He wanted to completely control this perfect vessel, just like controlling everyone else.

Inside the courtyard bedroom, Zhou Huai actually found this scene amusing as he watched.

This guy, fighting to this extent, actually still didn't want to kill Gandalf.

He was preparing to take Gandalf back.

However, the next second.

Zuo Daolin's wanton, wild laughter abruptly stopped.

His voice leaked an incomprehensible horror.

"Th-This… How is this possible?!"

"Why is there no Soul inside your body?!"

"This is impossible!"

"What… on earth are you?!"

On Gandalf's cold face, who was being choked by the neck, a trace of human-like mockery actually surfaced.

The AI controlled him, saying word by word.

"Foolish mortals."

"How can you possibly understand the greatness of my Lord?"

As soon as those words fell.

The Flame Explosion Core in Gandalf's hand suddenly lit up with a trace of faint light.

[Split Fireball]!

A fist-sized fireball instantly condensed and formed.

Zuo Daolin, who had fallen into massive shock, couldn't react at all.

"Puff!"

This seemingly inconspicuous fireball smashed solidly onto his ghost face mask covered in cracks.

"Ah—!"

An extremely shrill scream came from beneath the mask.

Zuo Daolin was struck by lightning, abruptly letting go of the hand choking Gandalf.

He covered his face, howling malevolently.

"I misjudged… after all!"

"Next time! Next time I encounter you, I will definitely not hold back!"

In an instant, that already fragile ghost face mask could no longer bear it.

Under the burning of the dim green flames, it shattered inch by inch, turning into flying ash.

Revealing the face beneath the mask, which was extremely distorted due to pain.

Inside the bedroom, Zhou Huai, who saw this scene through the Clone perspective, couldn't help but be stunned.

This guy…

How could it be Lu Qi?
