Chapter 656
Go all out
As Chen Ze had predicted, even more evil spirits emerged.
These demons took on an even more bizarre and disgusting form, with distorted faces, bloodshot eyes, and skin as loose as mud.
Each one seemed to be a creature that had crawled out from the deepest part of hell.
Tian Siyao instantly mastered the tacit understanding with Chen Ze; the two could understand each other's intentions almost without saying a word.
Chen Ze brandished the Qingfeng Sword, slicing out sharp streaks of light and severing the tentacles and claws of the evil spirit.
Tian Siyao followed closely behind, repelling the evil spirits that tried to approach Chen Ze.
Suddenly, the scene became extremely eerie. The phosphorescent flames seemed to attract even more yin energy, crowding together densely to form a chilling mark.
"Are you alright, Siyao?" After defeating an evil spirit, Chen Ze looked around through the Yin-Yang Mirror and then turned to look at Tian Siyao.
“I’m fine, but there seem to be more and more of these evil spirits.” Tian Siyao clenched her fists. “We need to find a way out quickly.”
"Hmm, let me try this." Chen Ze took out the Water Dragon Pearl and whispered a few incantations.
Suddenly, a water dragon flew out of the bead, creating a huge column of water that directly dispersed the evil spirits.
At this moment, both of them felt a little heavy-hearted.
Although they cooperated perfectly and repelled wave after wave of evil spirits, they knew that this was only the tip of the iceberg.
However, this only strengthened their resolve to continue moving forward.
"Are you ready?" Chen Ze asked.
“Of course, let’s continue,” Tian Siyao replied, her eyes piercing.
Chen Ze gripped the Qingfeng Sword tightly, while Tian Siyao prepared her attack spells.
The two smiled at each other, then stepped back into the dark unknown, secretly vowing that no matter what difficulties and dangers lay ahead, they must face them together.
Tian Siyao's mood has improved a lot.
Holding the Yin-Yang Mirror, Chen Ze warily scanned the cave. The surrounding rocks seemed to absorb the faint light in the air, making it feel oppressive.
His gaze finally settled on the enormous demon king sculpture.
This sculpture evokes images of untamed demons and unpredictable disasters; its piercing gaze seems to see directly into his heart through a mirror.
Tian Siyao stood next to Chen Ze, holding the jade sword tightly in her hand, the blade faintly shimmering with a ghostly green light.
She hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Chen Ze, what do you think of this sculpture? I always feel like it could come to life at any moment."
Chen Ze nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, and said, "I feel the same way. Looking into its eyes, it seems to be trying to tell us something."
Tian Siyao's lips twitched slightly, clearly also shocked by the demon king sculpture.
She bit her lip and said cautiously, "Chen Ze, I think we should leave here as soon as possible."
The atmosphere here makes me uneasy, as if something is watching us.
Chen Ze looked at Tian Siyao carefully and then said, "Your intuition is usually very accurate."
Let's hurry up and go.
As the two turned to leave, Tian Siyao suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively swung her jade sword, the eerie green light of which danced in the darkness.
She nervously looked around, trying to figure out where the creepy feeling was coming from.
Seeing this, Chen Ze immediately took out the Yin-Yang Mirror, his gaze passing through the thick lenses as he carefully scanned the surroundings. A blurry outline appeared on the lens, but it quickly disappeared.
"It's nothing," Chen Ze put down the Yin-Yang Mirror, his tone more relaxed. "It's probably just our imagination."
Tian Siyao nodded slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the demon king statue.
Finally, she hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe, but I always feel that this sculpture and everything in this cave are telling us something."
Chen Ze took a deep breath, his heart filled with doubt and unease.
But he knew that even if he was unwilling, he had to face the unknown and the danger.
“Tian Siyao, let’s go,” Chen Ze finally spoke, his voice firm. “We can’t let these unknown fears stop us from moving forward.”
Tian Siyao glanced at the unsettling demon king statue, then gripped the jade sword tightly, deciding to follow Chen Ze deeper into the unknown depths of the underground cave.
She knew that sometimes, when faced with fear and anxiety, the only way was to forge ahead.
Lightning flashed like a dragon, tearing through the air and creating a perilous situation.
Chen Ze and Tian Siyao almost instinctively twisted their bodies, skillfully dodging the fatal blow.
“This is no ordinary sculpture!” Chen Ze gripped the Yin-Yang Mirror tightly, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.
Tian Siyao picked up the jade sword in her hand, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if it sensed strong hostility.
"You're right, we have to be careful."
This thing doesn't resemble a simple work of art at all.
As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the demon king sculpture began to rotate 360 degrees, accompanied by an extremely deep roar, and beams of light shot out from its eyes one after another.
Each beam of light was like a raging beast, eager to tear apart anything that stood in its way.
The entire space seemed to be occupied by this rampant electric light, like a sea of fire in hell, which was terrifying.
The cave ceiling trembled involuntarily, and the shadows on the floor seemed to distort, as if some kind of unstable energy was generated under its influence.
Chen Ze quickly scanned his surroundings using the Yin-Yang Mirror, then suddenly shouted, "Tian Siyao, to the left, there's a blind spot!"
Without saying a word, Tian Siyao quickly followed Chen Ze, and the two of them, almost perfectly in sync, hid in a corner where the sculpture's light couldn't reach.
Her jade sword emitted a faint green light, as if it were on guard against something.
"That was close," Tian Siyao said softly, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"I almost became barbecue." Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken.
"What do you think is going on with this thing?" Tian Siyao stared at the still-spinning demon king sculpture, her tense face highlighting her determination and vigilance.
“I don’t know, but one thing is certain: this sculpture is alive, or at least controlled by some kind of force.” Chen Ze’s eyes hardened, and the Yin-Yang Mirror shimmered in his hand.
Just then, the two felt a cold current coming from behind the sculpture, as if the scythe of death had silently descended.
"Are you ready?" Chen Ze instantly drew the Qingfeng Sword, its blade emitting a sharp light.
Tian Siyao gripped the jade sword tightly and nodded.
She became extremely nervous!
The two of them shot off like arrows released from a bow, like candles in the wind, yet also like indomitable warriors.
They knew that, regardless of the outcome, they had to give it their all in this battle. (End of Chapter)
