Chapter 205: Unyielding Endeavor
"Stop!" Seeing the Blood Night Demon Family's messenger so arrogant, Mo Yi angrily rushed towards the messenger, wanting to fight him. He was blazing with flames, like a meteor piercing the darkness, with an indomitable momentum, fiercely crashing into the rolling dark power.
"You don't know what you can do!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family sneered, and the dark power rolled more violently. A huge black palm stretched out from the darkness, bringing with it overwhelming pressure, and easily slapped the demon away.
Mo Yi screamed and fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. But he didn't care about the pain on his body, and struggled to get up and continue fighting.
"Moyi, calm down!" Xiao Dian hurriedly stepped forward to hold Moyi, and said anxiously, "You are no match for him. If you rush forward now, you will only die in vain!"
"But..." Mo Yi clenched his fists unwillingly, looking at Zhang Cheng who was shrouded in dark power, his eyes full of worry.
"Trust Zhang Cheng," Xiao Dian said in a deep voice, "He will definitely find a way to resolve the crisis."
Xiao Dian's eyes were fixed on the battle on the field, his brows furrowed, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma.
He noticed that although the dark power released by the messengers of the Blood Night Demon Family was powerful, it had periodic fluctuations, like the tides, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
"Could it be..." Xiao Dian's heart moved, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.
He carefully observed the changing patterns of the dark power and became more and more certain of his guess.
"Zhang Cheng!" Xiao Dian suddenly spoke, shouting at Zhang Cheng who was shrouded in darkness, "Concentrate your mind, seize the gaps when the dark power fluctuates, and speed up the process of solving the maze!"
Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard Xiao Dian's voice. He endured the severe pain in his body, concentrated his mind, and carefully felt the changes in the dark power around him.
Sure enough, just as Xiao Dian said, the strength of the dark power is not constant, but fluctuates periodically, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
"This is..." A glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he realized that this might be the key to his breakthrough!
He took a deep breath and focused all his attention on solving the maze, no longer paying attention to the violent dark forces around him.
He held his breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. Golden runes flew out from his hands and merged into the maze.
In the gap when the dark power was the weakest, Zhang Cheng's movements became extremely fast. The golden runes fell accurately on the nodes of the maze like meteors, stirring up bursts of dazzling golden light.
Under the illumination of the golden light, the maze gradually revealed its original appearance, and some hidden passages and mechanisms also emerged...
Zhang Cheng seemed to be in a vast ocean of storms, and every attack from the dark power was like a raging wave trying to swallow him up. But he always remembered Xiao Dian's words, and seized the gaps between the fluctuations of the dark power, racing against time to solve the maze.
His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making a slight sound. But he didn't bother to wipe it off. His eyes were always fixed on the maze in front of him, and his hands were like butterflies flying through flowers, quickly forming seals and changing them.
As time went by, Zhang Cheng gradually mastered some of the maze's changing rules. He found that whenever the dark power reached its peak, the structure of the maze would change dramatically, the original passages might disappear, and new traps and obstacles might appear. But when the dark power weakened, the changes in the maze would become slow and regular.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to solve my maze?" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family saw that Zhang Cheng was not defeated by the impact of the dark power, but became more and more calm. A trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"Impossible! My maze is arranged according to the secret techniques of the Blood Night Demon Family. How could a small human like him crack it?" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family quickly denied his own idea, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In order to deal with Zhang Cheng as soon as possible, the Blood Night Demon Family messenger decided to increase the output of dark power. He put his hands together, muttered something, and a more powerful dark power surged out of his body and injected into the maze.
The entire maze began to tremble violently. The already complicated passages became even more chaotic. The walls, floors, and ceilings all seemed to have turned into liquid, constantly twisting and deforming, making it difficult to tell the direction.
"Damn it!" Zhang Cheng cursed inwardly as he felt the changes in the maze. He knew that the Blood Night Demon Family messenger had begun to take things seriously, and the danger he was facing had increased exponentially.
But he did not give up, instead he became more motivated. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and focused all his attention on solving the maze.
His hands formed seals and changed at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. Golden runes poured into the maze like a violent storm.
The changes in the maze became more and more drastic, and the dark power attacked Zhang Cheng wave after wave like a tsunami. He felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and the severe pain almost made him faint.
"Zhang Cheng! Hold on!" Xiao Dian's anxious voice came from a distance, but he could no longer hear it clearly. There was only a deafening roar in his ears and a constantly twisting and deforming maze in front of him.
At this moment, an extremely powerful force suddenly erupted from the depths of the maze, sweeping across the entire maze in an instant. Zhang Cheng was like being hit by a giant hammer, and he flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground...
"Klinda..."
The intense pain was like countless needles piercing his body. Zhang Cheng felt that his bones were about to break. A sweet and fishy taste surged in his throat, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood. Everything in front of him was blurred. The impact of the dark power almost tore his consciousness apart. He struggled weakly and wanted to stand up again, but found it extremely difficult to even move a finger.
"Zhang Cheng!" Xiao Dian's anxious voice came from a distance, but he could not hear any sound now. He could only see a vague figure swaying. It was Xiao Dian who was desperate to break through the obstacles to help him.
"It's useless. Do you think you can stop me?" The cold voice of the Blood Night Demon Family's messenger echoed in the maze, with a hint of mockery, "Just prepare to die!"
Despair and powerlessness surged into Zhang Cheng's heart like a tide. Just when Zhang Cheng was about to give up, the figure of Clinda suddenly appeared in his mind. Her clear eyes, gentle smile, and those firm words: "I believe in you, Zhang Cheng."
"Kelinda..." Zhang Cheng used up his last bit of strength to squeeze out her name from between his teeth.
This call was like a beam of light, illuminating the darkness in Zhang Cheng's heart. He remembered his promise to Clinda, the mission he shouldered, and those who supported and helped him. A strong willpower emerged from the bottom of his heart.
"I can't give up! I want to live! I want to save Clinda!" Zhang Cheng roared in his heart, and the flame of hope rekindled in his eyes. He struggled to prop up his body, and his trembling hands formed seals again. This time, his movements were no longer mechanical imitations, but were integrated with his will and belief.
The Dragon Star Sage had been observing all this calmly, and when he saw Zhang Cheng's amazing perseverance in the face of adversity, a trace of admiration flashed in his deep eyes. However, he frowned slightly at the behavior of the Blood Night Demon Family messenger, and seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with this excessive interference, but in the end he did not take action to stop it, but just watched quietly, as if waiting for something.
"Death struggle!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family snorted coldly and increased the output of dark power. The maze vibrated more violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt that the changes in the maze were a little inconsistent. He endured the severe pain, concentrated his mind, and carefully sensed everything around him. Finally, he found a key node hidden under the power of chaos. It was the core of the entire maze and the key to breaking the deadlock!
"Now!" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed, he knew that this was his only chance and he must seize it!
However, the Blood Night Demon Family messenger also noticed Zhang Cheng's intention. His face changed, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "Want to break through my maze? Dream on! Go to hell!"
He suddenly raised his hands, and an unprecedented powerful force gathered in his hands. The entire space seemed to solidify. This was his strongest attack, and he wanted to wipe out Zhang Cheng completely!
"Zhang Cheng..." The Dragon Star Sage looked at this scene, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he spoke slowly, as if he wanted to stop the messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family, but he regained his composure in the next second, just watching quietly, as if waiting for something.
"Go to hell!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family had lost his patience at this moment. He no longer cared about the reaction of the Dragon Star Sage and just wanted to get rid of Zhang Cheng as soon as possible.
Feeling the destructive power, Zhang Cheng was not afraid at all, but instead showed a resolute smile. He tried his best to mobilize every bit of energy in his body and poured them all into that key node.
“Break it for me!” Zhang Cheng roared, and the entire maze began to tremble violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
"You don't know your own limitations!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family sneered, and a black beam of light with the aura of destroying everything shot towards Zhang Cheng.
At this critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Cheng.
"Moyi! What are you doing?!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family was shocked and angry. He did not expect that at this time, Moyi would suddenly take action to stop him.
"Stop! He is seriously injured, you can't kill him!" Mo Yi stood in front of Zhang Cheng and said in a firm tone.
"Get out of here! This is the business of our Blood Night Demon Family and has nothing to do with you!" The messenger of the Blood Night Demon Family roared, and the black beam of light did not weaken at all because of Mo Yi's obstruction.
"I will never allow you to hurt him!" Mo Yi did not retreat at all. He opened his arms and a dazzling red light burst out from his whole body, forming a solid barrier, trying to block the fatal blow.
"Mo Yi!" Zhang Cheng was moved and worried when he saw this scene. He knew that Mo Yi did this to protect him, but he knew even more clearly that with Mo Yi's current strength, he could not withstand the full force of the Blood Night Demon Family's messenger.
"boom!"
The black beam fiercely hit the red barrier, causing a deafening roar. The entire space shook violently, as if it would collapse at any moment...
At this moment, a crack finally appeared in the maze in front of Zhang Cheng...
