Chapter 356 Mo Ming Arrives Just in Time
"Now!" Xi Wuxu shouted, controlling the last two puppets to pounce on Zhang Yuanshan and pin him to the ground.
Wang Tinghan and Wu An rushed forward at the same time, their weapons thrusting straight at Zhang Yuanshan's arms, pinning him firmly to the ground.
“It’s over,” Xi Wuxu said coldly, his hands forming a hand seal, preparing to cast the final spell to force out the evil spirit attached to Zhang Yuanshan.
However, at that moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Zhang Yuanshan's lips. His voice was low and hollow: "You... really think you can win like this?"
The next second, his body suddenly erupted with a powerful energy, shattering all the puppets into dust. And the white light in his eyes became dazzling once more.
"Oh no!" Xi Wuxu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated.
Zhang Yuanshan slowly stood up, the wound on his shoulder healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. His gaze swept coldly over the crowd, his voice low and hoarse:
"Your efforts... come to an end."
Just as Zhang Yuanshan's body erupted with powerful energy, shattering all the puppets and filling the surrounding air with an aura of destruction, a deep and majestic voice suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest.
"It ends here, and that's the end of it."
As these words were spoken, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the distant woods, like a burning sun breaking through the night.
The towering flames surged in like a tidal wave, and wherever they went, withered leaves were revitalized, and the suffocating chill in the air was completely dispelled.
In the firelight, a tall figure slowly approached. Behind him dragged a massive longsword, its blade wreathed in raging flames, radiating a chilling aura of power.
"Leader!" Wang Tinghan exclaimed, his face filled with shock and elation.
Mo Ming's figure gradually became clearer. He wore simple black armor, his face was cold and his eyes were piercing. His hand gripped the demon-suppressing sword that was burning with flames. The blade was engraved with ancient runes, as if it contained infinite power.
"You all step back." Mo Ming's voice was deep and calm, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
Wang Tinghan and Wu An exchanged a glance, then quickly stepped back and stood beside Xi Wuxu.
Zhang Yuanshan slowly turned his head, his gaze falling on Mo Ming. The eerie smile still lingered on his face, but a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
“Interesting…” Zhang Yuanshan said in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “The Demon-Suppressing Sword? It seems that you mortals do have some skills after all.”
Mo Ming did not answer. His steps were steady and heavy, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand dragged on the ground, the blade scraping against the ground and making a grating sound.
Flames spread along the blade, burning the withered grass on the ground, as if even the earth could not withstand the sword's oppressive power.
"Possessed by an evil spirit." Mo Ming's voice was cold and murderous, his gaze like a knife, piercing straight at Zhang Yuanshan. "You shouldn't be here."
Zhang Yuanshan sneered, raising his hands, and the eerie white light once again coalesced in his palms. His voice grew even deeper: "You think this sword can threaten me?"
"You'll know once you try," Mo Ming said calmly.
Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed, so fast that it was almost invisible. The Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand, wreathed in raging flames, slashed straight at Zhang Yuanshan's head!
Zhang Yuanshan's pupils contracted slightly. He quickly raised his hand, and the white light in his palm transformed into a barrier, attempting to block the attack. However, the power of the Demon-Suppressing Sword far exceeded his expectations.
The flames swept down like a raging sea, tearing through the white light barrier and slamming into Zhang Yuanshan's shoulder.
"boom!"
With a loud crash, Zhang Yuanshan was sent flying, slamming heavily into a large tree. The tree snapped in two, and a trickle of black blood escaped from the corner of Zhang Yuanshan's mouth.
"This is impossible..." Zhang Yuanshan roared in a low voice, his eyes filled with disbelief, "How could a mere mortal possibly hurt me!"
Mo Ming slowly sheathed the Demon-Suppressing Sword, looking coldly at Zhang Yuanshan: "The sword in my hand is meant to slay things like you that shouldn't even exist."
Zhang Yuanshan's face contorted into a ferocious expression. He slammed his hands onto the ground, and an eerie white light erupted from his body, rapidly spreading outwards. The surrounding trees were enveloped in the white light, instantly withering and rotting, as if the entire dense forest had decayed under his power.
"Since that's the case, then I'll show you true power!" Zhang Yuanshan's voice became sharp and crazed, his body began to tremble violently, and something seemed to be wriggling under his skin.
"Oh no!" Xi Wuxu whispered, "He's about to completely unleash the evil entity that's possessing him!"
Mo Ming's gaze sharpened, his hand tightened around the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and he stomped his foot, causing the ground to crack instantly. His figure shot towards Zhang Yuanshan like a fiery meteor.
"Too late!" Zhang Yuanshan laughed loudly, his body suddenly swelled, and a powerful shockwave erupted from his body.
"boom!"
Mo Ming was thrown back several steps by the shockwave, but he regained his footing, and the Demon-Suppressing Sword in his hand was still burning with raging flames.
When the smoke cleared, Zhang Yuanshan's body had undergone a tremendous change. His skin had turned as black as ink, his eyes were filled with an eerie white light, and a pair of twisted bone wings had sprouted from his back.
His voice was deep and hollow, as if it came from the depths of hell: "Now, do you still think you can win?"
Mo Ming's gaze remained calm. He slowly raised the Demon-Suppressing Sword, and the flames on its blade intensified. The surrounding air distorted due to the intense heat, as if the entire world was about to be ignited by the sword.
"No matter what kind of monster you are, you will die here today."
Zhang Yuanshan roared and charged at Mo Ming. He was several times faster than before, and his hands turned into sharp claws, grabbing straight for Mo Ming's throat.
Instead of retreating, Mo Ming advanced, his Demon-Suppressing Sword blazing with towering flames as he charged forward.
"boom!"
Two powerful forces collided in mid-air, unleashing a deafening roar. Flames and white light intertwined, illuminating the entire dense forest as if it were daytime.
The battle reached a fever pitch, with each exchange between Mo Ming and Zhang Yuanshan carrying destructive power. Trees around them collapsed continuously, and the earth was torn apart with deep cracks.
"Captain, what should we do?" Wu An asked nervously.
Xi Wuxu's eyes were sharp as he whispered, "The leader is holding him back, but we can't stand idly by. Tinghan, Wu An, come with me to set up a formation to block his movement!"
"Understood!" The two nodded and quickly got to work.
Xi Wuxu took out an ancient talisman, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted: "Heaven and earth form an array, trapping evil and sealing demons—start!"
As he chanted the incantation, golden runes suddenly appeared on the ground, quickly enveloping Zhang Yuanshan.
