Chapter 411: All-out Attack
After discovering the core of the Shadow Demon, everyone's eyes instantly became as sharp as eagles, and they launched an all-out attack without hesitation. A thrilling life-and-death battle began.
As the backbone of the sect, the elders were the first to show their extraordinary strength. The chief elder with white hair like snow and a dignified face, the ancient sword in his hand hummed, as if responding to the master's passionate fighting spirit. He muttered something, and in a moment, the sky changed color, and the heavy dark clouds were quickly gathered by an invisible hand, stacking layer by layer. Then, a dazzling lightning flashed like a silver snake dancing wildly, winding through the clouds, and then fell straight down with the power of destroying the world. The moment the lightning touched the ground, it turned into a surging fire storm. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air, and the rolling heat waves swept towards the core of the Shadow Demon. Wherever it passed, the ground was burned with charred marks.
Another elder with a thin figure and sharp eyes was not to be outdone. He waved his hands quickly, outlining a series of mysterious and complex ice-blue runes in the air. As the runes flickered, the surrounding water vapor seemed to be inspired and gathered crazily. In the blink of an eye, thousands of ice spikes condensed out of thin air, each as sharp as a knife, exuding a chilling breath. Under the control of the elders, these ice spikes shot towards the core of the demon shadow like a dense rain of arrows, and the whistling sound made people's eardrums hurt. Wherever the ice spikes went, the air seemed to be frozen, and some small demon shadows that were unable to dodge were instantly frozen, turned into ice sculptures, and then shattered into ice slag under the high temperature of the fire storm.
There was also an elder who was good at controlling lightning. He was surrounded by lightning and his clothes rustled. He shouted loudly and raised his hands upward. Thunder roared in the sky. Countless arm-thick lightning bolts rushed down like angry dragons out of the sea. These lightning bolts intertwined and entangled with each other, forming an extremely powerful electric net that enveloped the area around the core of the demon shadow. When the lightning bolt touched the demon shadow, it instantly burst into dazzling light, making crackling sounds, and a pungent smell of burning spread. The demon shadows' painful roars were endless.
Chu Mochen held a long sword in his hand, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, the sword shone brightly, and the dazzling sword energy seemed to tear the night sky apart. He fixed his eyes on the core of the demon shadow, tapped his feet lightly, and rushed to the core like a silver lightning. The demon shadows along the way tried to stop him, but he shook his wrist, and the long sword instantly turned into a sword shadow, protecting him tightly. Wherever the sword shadow passed, the demon shadows were chopped into pieces and turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated. He kept moving, relying on his superb body skills to dodge left and right in the group of demon shadows. Every time he swung his sword, he brought a thousand pounds of force, and he approached the core step by step.
Yun Yao was at the back, concentrating on casting auxiliary spells. She knew that the outcome of this battle was related to the survival of the sect, so she dared not slack off. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and rays of spiritual power flowed out from her fingertips, interweaving and changing in the air. These spiritual power rays were like smart elves, accurately integrating into the attacks of everyone. The spiritual power integrated into the fire storm made the flames burn more fiercely, the color changed from orange-red to dark blue, and the temperature rose sharply; the spiritual power integrated into the ice storm made the ice harder and sharper, and the flying speed was as fast as a meteor; and the spiritual power integrated into the thunder grid doubled the power of thunder, and each lightning was as thick as a pillar, crackling.
Not only that, Yun Yao also kept an eye on the changes on the battlefield. Her spiritual sense was like an invisible net that covered the entire battlefield. Once she found a demon trying to attack the elders and Chu Mochen from the flank or rear, she would issue a warning in time. At the same time, she also skillfully controlled her spiritual power to lay a layer of protective light curtain around everyone. Although this light curtain seemed thin, it could effectively resist the occasional sudden energy waves from the demon, giving everyone a precious breathing space.
The black sphere felt an unprecedented threat, and the surrounding demons went completely crazy. They gathered together desperately, using their bodies to build black barriers to try to block the attacks of everyone. These demons merged and squeezed each other, and their shapes became twisted and hideous. Some grew sharp bone spurs, and some sprayed black venom. The air was filled with a disgusting stench.
For a moment, the battlefield fell into a white-hot stage, the roar of spells, the whistling of demons, and the collision of weapons intertwined, deafening. The light flashed, and the flames, ice spikes, thunder and dark spiritual power collided and offset each other, blooming a colorful but extremely dangerous light. Every collision of energy triggered a strong airflow impact, blowing everyone's clothes rustling and shaking their bodies.
In this fierce battle, Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others approached the core step by step with difficulty. They had more and more wounds on their bodies, and blood stained their clothes red, but their eyes became more and more determined. Sweat soaked their foreheads, slid down their cheeks, and dripped on the hot ground and evaporated instantly. Every breath was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood, but they were unaware of it. They had only one goal in mind - to destroy the core of the Shadow Demon and protect the peace of the sect.
As the battle continued, everyone's spiritual power was consumed greatly, and the rhythm of the attack gradually slowed down. The elders' faces were slightly pale, veins on their foreheads bulged, and their casting movements were no longer as smooth as at the beginning; Chu Mochen's footsteps were slightly heavy, and although his sword moves were still sharp, the speed of swinging the sword had slowed down; Yun Yao's spiritual power was overdrawn, and her hands trembled slightly when she formed seals, and beads of sweat dripped from her chin. However, the defense of the Demon Shadow Core was still solid, and the runes on the surface of the black sphere flashed a strange light, as if mocking everyone's powerlessness.
Just when everyone felt a little desperate, Yun Yao suddenly had an idea. She remembered that when she was reading ancient books in the library, she saw a record of using the principle of the five elements to break the magic circle. Although the magic shadow core in front of her was not an ordinary magic circle, the principle might be the same. She didn't have time to think about it, and shouted loudly: "Elders, Brother Chu, let's try to attack with the power of the five elements!" Everyone heard it, although they didn't understand why, but there was no better way at the moment, so they nodded to cooperate.
Yun Yao quickly adjusted her spiritual power output and changed her spiritual power attribute to wood attribute. She waved her hands, and green spiritual powers full of vitality spread out like vines, wrapping around the core of the magic shadow. Wherever these spiritual powers went, the movements of the magic shadows seemed to become slow, as if they were bound by an invisible force. Then, the elder who was good at controlling water understood what he meant. He controlled the surrounding water vapor and condensed it into a surging water dragon. The water dragon rushed towards the core of the magic shadow with a huge impact force, blending with Yun Yao's wood attribute spiritual power. Water nourishes wood, and the power of wood is further enhanced. The green vines grew rapidly and thickened, tightly strangling the magic shadows around the core of the magic shadow.
At this time, the elder who was good at controlling the earth slammed his hands on the ground, causing the ground to shake violently. Huge rocks broke out of the ground, spinning rapidly in the air, and then smashed towards the Demon Shadow Core. With the blessing of the spiritual power of wood and water, the rocks became as hard as rocks, and their power doubled. Each rock that fell caused a tremor, smashing holes in the defenses around the Demon Shadow Core.
Seeing this, the elder who was good at controlling fire cast a fire spell again, but this time the fire was different from before. With the harmony of the three spiritual powers of wood, water, and earth, the fire showed a strange golden color. The golden flame was extremely hot, but it was not as violent and out of control as before. It burned accurately towards the gap in the core of the demon shadow, and the demon shadows were reduced to ashes wherever it passed.
Finally, the elder who was good at controlling gold waved his hands, and countless golden sword qi spread towards the core of the demon shadow like a net. Under the joint action of the five elements of spiritual power, these sword qi became sharper and easily penetrated the defense of the demon shadow and went straight to the core body.
Under the coordinated attack of the five elements, the defense of the Demon Shadow Core finally showed signs of loosening. The runes on the surface of the black sphere began to flicker, and the light became dimmer. The surrounding Demon Shadows also became flustered. Their attack rhythm was completely disrupted and no longer as orderly as before. Seeing this, everyone's morale was greatly boosted. Although their bodies were exhausted, the flame of hope rekindled in their eyes. They gritted their teeth and continued to launch more fierce attacks, making a final sprint towards the Demon Shadow Core.
