At that moment, time seemed to freeze before suddenly resuming, and the few spirits with eerie smiles lunged at me without hesitation. Their speed was drastically different from before; before I could react, they were already upon me.
Seeing this, I had no time to think. I raised Jiang Ling in front of me, hoping to slow down their assault. But just as I did, a crimson arrow whizzed past my cheek and struck the nearest spirit with a "whoosh." However, the arrow not only failed to harm the spirit but also did nothing to slow its advance.
"Why is it that even an arrow made of Yao Long's blood is useless..." Just as I was distracted by this thought, one of the spirits grabbed the blade of Jiang Ling. Immediately, I felt my strength being drained through Jiang Ling.
"Let go! Or it will be too late!" Void Spirit shouted from within me.
At that moment, I released Jiang Ling and stumbled back a few steps.
The spirits rushing toward me showed no signs of stopping; they continued to close in.
"Hurry, let me out! You can't handle these things!" Void Spirit sounded increasingly anxious.
But I knew that my mark was already nearing its limit. If I let Void Spirit out to wreak havoc now, I could be in real danger.
Thinking this, I chose not to respond. Instead, I mimicked Li Zhisheng and gathered a surge of power in my palm, transforming it into a pitch-black sphere.
"Stop! Don't you realize they will absorb your power?! You're just giving it to them for free!" Void Spirit exclaimed urgently as I prepared to throw the Black Sphere.
Ignoring him, I hurled the Black Sphere toward the statue standing in the distance. The spirits, seeing the massive energy concentrated in the Black Sphere, charged at it like starving wolves drawn to meat. The spirit that had been holding onto Jiang Ling also tossed aside the sword and ran back recklessly.
Seizing the opportunity, I stepped forward to pick up Jiang Ling, but just as my hand was about to touch it, I heard Li Zhisheng's anxious shout from behind: "Shen Xu, get away from there!"
Startled by his voice, I quickly turned to look. To my horror, the Azure Scale Monster appeared to have been sent flying by a combined attack from Yao Long and Li Zhisheng. It was now hovering not far above me and was about to crash into me. In that moment, bent over to retrieve the sword, I had no way to dodge.
The monster weighed at least a ton, and if it fell on me, I would surely be dead or severely injured. I cursed my fate, wondering if I was about to meet my end here.
Just as I was in a dire situation, a figure suddenly appeared from nowhere. With a powerful punch, the person struck the Azure Scaled Beast, sending it flying away with a loud thud.
"Hu Fang?!" I stared in disbelief at the person standing before me, astonished that she had just knocked the massive creature away with a single blow.
"Are you alright?" I asked tentatively.
But Hu Fang completely ignored me and charged after the direction where the monster had been sent flying. "It seems she hasn't fully recovered yet..." I thought, shouting to Yao Long and Li Zhisheng, "Hu Fang might have lost control now, be careful..."
Before I could finish, the Void Spirit inside me interjected, "Instead of worrying about others, how about you take care of yourself first!"
"Stop talking nonsense; I don't need your concern..." Just then, I picked up Jiang Ling from the ground. As soon as I grasped Jiang Ling, I felt a powerful force strike my back, and I was immediately slammed to the ground. A wave of sweetness flooded my throat as blood surged forth once again.
"What was I thinking... Don't overexert yourself; let me handle this..." The Void Spirit said. Seizing the moment while I was weak, it suddenly took control of my body. A surge of power comparable to Hatred erupted within me. Realizing the gravity of the situation, I tried to regain control over my body and stabilize my mind. But it was too late; the Void Spirit had already taken over.
I sprang up from the ground like a carp leaping out of water, surrounded by a black halo of light. "Pay attention; spirits cannot be attacked with conventional means..." the Void Spirit declared as it tossed Jiang Ling slightly into the air before catching it again. It then swept through the air with a massive Slash Mark aimed at those so-called spirits.
The spirits stood their ground instead of dodging, forming a line to await the arrival of the Slash Mark. "Didn’t I just give them power for nothing?! Why are you doing this now?!" I shouted in frustration.
The Void Spirit did not respond but controlled my body to channel power into my legs. Suddenly, it propelled itself forward at incredible speed past the Slash Mark, kicking up dust as it rushed toward the spirits.
At that moment, instead of attacking, it drove Jiang Ling forcefully into the ground while extending its arms forward and backward with palms open—one aimed at the spirits and the other at the massive Slash Mark behind us.
"What are you doing? Do you want to kill yourself with your own attack?!" I shouted anxiously, but the Void Spirit seemed to ignore me. Just as the Slash Mark was about to hit me, I closed my eyes.
In an instant, I could see nothing, plunged into endless darkness, and felt the Void Spirit's powerful energy vanish completely, as if my body had become nothing but an empty shell.
"What is he trying to do?" A strong sense of unease surged within me.
Suddenly, there was a deafening boom, and my body trembled. Yet, I felt no pain; instead, at that moment, the Void Spirit's immense power surged forth again, even stronger than before.
In the darkness, the Void Spirit spoke to me: "These spirits can not only absorb the power you emit but can also rebound that power back to the attacker. The only way to deal with them is to absorb them!"
With that, I abruptly opened my eyes and saw a swirling black hole forming in my hand, drawing in those spirits one by one. As they entered me, I felt the Void Spirit's power within me growing stronger, nearly reaching the same level as Hatred.
Behind me, a hand was blocking the massive Slash Mark I had previously unleashed. The Slash Mark collided repeatedly with my palm, producing flashes of lightning-like Black Light.
