Albert’s slash struck like a crashing thunderbolt, fierce and powerful, slicing straight down from the evil creature’s forehead—by all rights, this single blow should have been enough to kill it.However, amid Mario’s exclamations of surprise, Albert’s brows furrowed slightly. For the moment his blade had struck the evil creature, an indescribable tactile sensation had left him with a faint sense of unease.I need another strike!The thought flashed through Albert’s mind. Without hesitation, he spun around, ready to slash again.But the instant he turned, a bizarre sound emanated from the evil creature he had just struck. From the split in its body, countless strands of pitch-black straw seemed to sprout. The straw tangled around each other, quickly sealing the gap shut.The knife wound vanished without a trace.Once more, sugar-coated haws shot out from the pole in the evil creature’s hand, spawning waves of corrupted beings that howled and surged toward Albert.Dozens of corrupted o

As they spoke, a violent retching sound suddenly came from behind them. Turning around, they saw Hanson kneeling on the ground, vomiting frantically. Black liquid—foul-smelling beyond description—spilled from his mouth.Albert and the other two stepped back immediately, watching Hanson warily.Hanson retched so violently that he nearly passed out. After a long while, he finally lifted his ashen face, his empty eyes staring blankly at the three of them.Hanson, have you recovered?Albert gripped his Golden Jade Blade, his gaze sweeping over Hanson as he spoke slowly, If you haven’t… how about we send you on your way? After all, it would be a form of mercy for you.Nikolai and Mario glanced at Albert. It was clear that Hanson and Albert didn’t get along well.Hanson’s face twitched. Gritting his teeth, he snapped, I’m fine now!Hearing this, Albert let out a sigh, sounding somewhat disappointed.Seeing Albert’s reaction, the veins on Hanson’s forehead throbbed. Did you really want me to

But the situation was urgent, so she didn’t dwell on more words. Instead, she acted with swift resolve: Everyone, we have no time to rest. We must push forward at full speed right now. The assimilation power of this illusion is growing stronger—we have to keep placing Purification Spirit Orbs, using their purification power to cut through and weaken the illusion. If we don’t, once the Great Heavenly Catastrophe-level evil creature appears, it will definitely gain a power boost within the illusion, and that will be no good for us at all.No one opposed this, not even Walter expressed his agreement.Redstone City was an extremely dangerous place right now—they simply didn’t have time to rest properly.Seeing everyone’s approval, the Crown Princess turned to Albert again and said, Our team provided the first Purification Spirit Orb this time. For the next one, it can be provided by another team.Albert nodded to show he understood. Providing Purification Spirit Orbs was no trivial matter;

The blood-tailed evil creature’s cold, blood-red pupils scanned the eight solemn figures. A coquettish laugh escaped its crimson lips. In the next instant, a shrill noise suddenly rang out from within the layers of black clouds formed by malicious aura high in the sky. Then, everyone watched as eight blood-drenched chains shot out violently from the clouds—like eight blood-colored dragons—charging straight toward the eight team leaders, including Willis, the Crown Princess, and Walter, in a surprise attack from the air.At this moment, even the void trembled violently.Face the enemy!Willis’s face was grave. The power of his Water Element Soul surged around him like a mighty flood, as if transforming into a vast expanse of water. His voice boomed like thunder, and he took the lead in stepping forward.The Crown Princess, Walter, and the others also unleashed all their strength at this moment, confronting the terrifying offensive from the blood-tailed evil creature head-on.Boom! Boom

The strange wind was extremely bizarre. Although everyone had soul power surging around their bodies to protect themselves at all times, in that instant, it was completely dissipated by the wind. Immediately, a bone-chilling cold spread over every inch of their bodies.AlgerWatch out—there might be evil creatures attacking!AlgerThe sudden turn of events startled Albert, who quickly shouted a warning at the top of his voice.Everyone was instantly alarmed. Their souls trembled violently within their bodies, and their soul power surged forth in full force to drive away the cold on their skin. At the same time, they stared warily at their surroundings, eyes sharp with vigilance.Yet to everyone’s confusion, after the strange wind swept past, no trace of any evil creatures could be seen. The street fell into a deathly silence.AlgerWhat’s going on here?Alger Mario frowned, muttering under his breath.The others also exchanged puzzled glances.This eerie silence lasted for a minute before
