Chapter 235 Suppressing the Shadow
He swung the iron weapon in his hand and smashed it down on the demon with all his might.
However, the man's attack was like an ant trying to shake a tree; it couldn't cause any real damage to the demon.
Seeing this, the demon sneered and then swung his hand back.
With a loud bang, the man was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
He struggled to get up, but his body wouldn't obey him, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just then, Huan Yuechu, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the chance.
She flashed and, like a ghost, swiftly circled around to the demon's side.
Before the demon could react, she suddenly raised the iron weapon in her hand and stabbed it into the demon's back with all her might.
"Ah!" The demon roared in pain.
It turned around angrily, opened its blood-red maw, and pounced on Huan Yuechu.
A thrilling life-or-death struggle is about to unfold...
At that critical moment, when life and death were at stake.
Suddenly, the little spirit beast that had been lying quietly to one side leaped high into the air like an arrow released from a bow.
With its leaping motion, a gentle yet incredibly powerful force surged forth from its small body, rushing straight towards the demon's fatal attack like a raging torrent.
Surprisingly, this seemingly ordinary little spirit beast actually possesses such amazing abilities!
Just as the two were still in shock, Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity and quickly arrived beside the man, successfully joining him.
At this moment, the two seemed to be telepathically connected, understanding each other's thoughts without needing to exchange words.
Immediately afterwards, they simultaneously circulated their spiritual energy and poured it continuously into the iron weapons they held tightly in their hands.
In an instant, the originally plain ironware began to emit a dazzling light, like the most brilliant star in the night sky.
Huan Yuechu and the man exchanged a glance and then roared in unison.
Then, working together, they gripped the gleaming iron weapon and charged towards the demon like lightning.
Faced with the two men rushing towards him menacingly, the demon initially only glanced at them contemptuously, his eyes revealing an undisguised disdain.
However, just moments later, when it truly felt the powerful force generated by the combined efforts of the two people...
The demon's expression changed instantly, his disdain replaced by wariness.
Because it keenly sensed that the force before it was completely different from any attack it had encountered before.
Just as the dazzling iron object was about to touch the demon's body...
A thick, ink-like black shield suddenly appeared around the demon.
The light emanating from the ironware clashed violently with the black shield.
Sparks flew and energy overflowed, causing intense fluctuations throughout the space due to the violent collision between the two.
Despite facing such enormous resistance, Huan Yuechu and the man showed no sign of backing down.
On the contrary, they gritted their teeth and used all their strength to continuously increase their power output.
At the same time, the little spirit beast was not idle either. It used all its remaining power to transfer to Huan Yuechu and the man in a special way.
Empowered by the little spirit beast, the two felt an endless surge of power coursing through their bodies, and their attacks became even more ferocious...
Suddenly, with a crisp cracking sound, the demon's indestructible shield shattered instantly, turning into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.
At the same time, an incredibly sharp iron weapon pierced straight into the demon's massive body like lightning!
The demon let out a heart-wrenching roar of pain, its voice echoing through the heavens and deafening.
Its once majestic body trembled violently, swaying precariously like a candle flickering in the wind.
Immediately afterwards, the demon's body began to dissipate at a visible speed, turning into wisps of black smoke that rose into the air.
However, just as this demon was about to completely vanish into thin air.
A mysterious and eerie black shadow suddenly burst out of the demon's body like a wild horse, rushing straight toward Huan Yuechu not far away with a fierce aura!
In the blink of an eye, the man standing to the side displayed astonishing reaction speed and agility.
Without hesitation, he darted to the side and flashed in front of Huan Yuechu, using his broad chest to block the menacing black shadow.
In an instant, a muffled "plop" was heard, and the dark figure entered the man's body without any hindrance.
The man's face instantly turned ashen, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He clutched his chest tightly, his brows furrowed, and his face showed an indescribable expression of pain.
Finally, the man could no longer support his heavy body and collapsed limply to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Huan Yuechu was extremely anxious, her heart pounding in her chest.
She rushed to the man's side, squatted down, and reached out her hands to help him up, but she was somewhat at a loss.
At this moment, the little spirit beast that had been following them also panicked and started circling the man rapidly.
She kept making anxious whimpering sounds, seemingly worried about the man's safety.
Huan Yuechu steadied herself, took a deep breath, and then hugged the man tightly.
She closed her eyes tightly, concentrated her mind, and tried to mobilize her own strength to suppress the rampaging black shadow inside the man's body.
Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew tense and suffocating.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, the man's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly and then slowly opened.
Although he still looked very weak, he managed to force a smile as he looked at Huan Yuechu and gently shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
When she saw that the man was unharmed, Huan Yuechu's tense nerves relaxed a little.
However, she is well aware that the condition has only been temporarily suppressed and a complete cure is still a long way off.
Huan Yuechu stared intently at the man and asked bluntly, "You must know how to cure this disease, right?"
She has never liked owing favors to others, and if she can solve problems herself, that would be the best outcome.
The man gave a bitter smile and nodded slightly.
"That's right, I do know a method, but it's extremely risky."
He paused, then added helplessly, "Besides, we're trapped here and have no way to get out. Even if we knew a way, it wouldn't help."
Nevertheless, Huan Yuechu's gaze remained exceptionally firm as she responded without hesitation.
"No matter how difficult the situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is worth taking the plunge!"
