Chapter 1010
: Sneer once
"Hahaha, it's like finding a needle in a haystack!" the leader of the demons sneered. "You self-proclaimed righteous people dare to trespass on our territory. You're really tired of living!"
Yang Ling stepped forward and said coldly, "Demons, you harm living beings and wreak havoc on the world. Today, we have come to rid the people of this scourge!"
"Hmph, what arrogance!" the demon leader sneered. "With so few men, you think you can contend with us? What a pipe dream!"
“The number of people is not everything,” Bai Wei said calmly. “Sometimes, quality far outweighs quantity.”
Xu Fu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, although the four of us are few in number, our strength and wisdom are enough to make you demons tremble with fear!"
"Haha, then let's see who's truly fearful!" The demon leader laughed loudly, then led his demons in a fierce attack on Yang Ling and his companions.
The battle was about to begin, and the two sides engaged in fierce combat. Yang Ling and his companions cooperated seamlessly, each displaying their strengths, and fought a life-or-death struggle against the demons.
Ziya wielded his Wind and Fire Wheels, his momentum like a tiger descending the mountain, each attack striking fear into the hearts of demons.
Bai Wei then used the Spirit Water Pearl and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to unleash powerful water-based magic, scattering the demons to pieces.
Xu Fu was not to be outdone. He used his medical skills and alchemy to continuously heal his teammates and enhance their strength during the battle.
Seeing the situation was dire, the demon leader roared and personally engaged Yang Ling in battle. The two were evenly matched, and for a time, the fight was evenly contested. However, under Yang Ling's calm analysis and precise strikes, the demon leader gradually revealed weaknesses.
"Now is the time!" Yang Ling thought to himself, seizing the demon leader's opening and swinging his sword. The demon leader was shocked and tried to dodge, but it was too late. With a "thud," Yang Ling's sword pierced through the demon leader's chest.
"Ah!" The demon leader screamed and collapsed heavily to the ground. The other demons were terrified and scattered in all directions.
Instead of pursuing the fleeing demons, Yang Ling and his companions quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected their spoils. Although the battle was thrilling and dangerous, it brought them considerable rewards.
"Hahaha, this is a great victory!" Ziya laughed loudly, brandishing his Wind Fire Wheels.
Yang Ling also smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, the success in defeating the demon leader and his men this time is all thanks to everyone's unity and cooperation."
Bai Wei then asked Xu Fu with concern, "Brother Xu, are you alright? Are you injured?"
Xu Fu shook his head: "I'm fine. It's all thanks to your protection."
The group exchanged smiles, their hearts filled with joy and pride. This battle was not only an affirmation of their own strength, but also a victory for unity and faith.
"Alright," Yang Ling said seriously, his smile fading. "Although we have won this time, the threat from the Demon Realm is not yet gone. We must continue forward, find the Netherworld Palace, and destroy it!"
“That’s right,” Bai Wei added calmly. “The Demon Realm is currently at a disadvantage. We must press our advantage and not give them any chance to catch their breath or regroup.”
A glint of battle lust flashed in Ziya's eyes as he eagerly declared, "Let my Wind-Fire Wheels pave the way! We'll press on and storm the Demon Realm's lair!" However, Xu Fu remained thoughtful, cautioning, "But we mustn't underestimate them. The Queen Mother of the West once said that the entrance to the Netherworld Palace is hidden within layers of mist—an extremely dangerous area. We must proceed with caution and avoid reckless actions."
Yang Ling nodded in agreement: "Brother Xu's reminder is very true. Although our morale is high at the moment, we must act cautiously. After all, we are facing a cunning and powerful enemy. Now, let us join hands and face the challenges ahead together, find the entrance to the Netherworld Palace, and completely eliminate the threat of the Demon Realm!"
The crowd responded in unison, their faces filled with determination and resolve.
Immediately, this valiant team embarked on their journey to the Misty Abyss.
The Misty Abyss is the only way to the Netherworld Palace. Legend has it that this place is shrouded in thick fog all year round, resembling a huge labyrinth.
Anyone who ventures in rashly will lose their way in this fog, as if trapped in an endless maze, unable to find a way out.
As the group ventured deeper, the surrounding fog grew thicker, and visibility gradually decreased. Yang Ling and the others had to slow their pace and proceed with greater caution.
"Attention everyone, do not scatter, and be sure to maintain formation," Yang Ling instructed again. His voice echoed in the mist, bringing a sense of comfort and guidance to the group.
Suddenly, a strange gust of wind pierced the silence, followed by the surrounding fog churning violently, as if stirred by some force. An inexplicable atmosphere of oppression and tension permeated the air.
"Everyone be careful!" Bai Wei exclaimed, her voice tinged with tension.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dark figure suddenly darted out from the churning fog, lunging straight at Yang Ling, who was at the forefront of the group. Yang Ling reacted swiftly, gripping his longsword tightly, and with a single swing, accurately struck the dark figure, repelling it.
When the dark figure landed, everyone looked closely and realized it was a strangely shaped monster. This beast had a peculiar appearance, its eyes flashing with a ghostly blue light, and it exuded a sinister aura.
“These are unique monsters from the mist,” Xu Fu explained. “They live in the mist year-round, feeding on people who get lost in it. You must be careful, these monsters are extremely cunning and powerful.”
Ziya, on the other hand, was excited: "Haha, it seems we need to be careful. These demonic beasts are not easy to deal with, and this is a good opportunity to test our strength."
Faced with this sudden challenge, Yang Ling said solemnly, "This is just the beginning of the challenges we will face next. We don't know how many dangers await us. Everyone must remain highly vigilant and not relax in the slightest."
Bai Wei added, "Yang Ling is right. Although our morale is high right now, we must not let our guard down. Only by uniting as one can we successfully find the entrance to the Netherworld Palace and complete our mission."
Listening to Bai Wei's words, Xu Fu took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Unity, this is indeed our most powerful weapon. Each of us has our own strengths, and only by supporting each other can we exert our greatest strength."
“Brother Xu is absolutely right,” Yang Ling replied. “Each of us is an indispensable member. No matter how great the difficulties we face, as long as we are united, nothing can stop us from moving forward.”
Ziya waved his Wind-Fire Wheels and said with boundless pride, "Brother Yang Ling, just tell me, what's our next move? My Wind-Fire Wheels will be the first to charge!" (End of Chapter)
