Chapter 303 Give him the final blow!
Although their collaboration was brief, the three worked together with such perfect harmony that they seemed like one person.

"Yunming, do you have anything else to say?"

Rose's voice was cold and deep, carrying an undeniable authority.

She slowly took a step forward, the tip of her sword pointing at the simulated Yunming on the ground, "Your dark power has been torn apart by us."

The rules you were so proud of are now nothing but ruins.

Simulated Yunming coughed up blood, a twisted smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. His voice was hoarse but still carried a hint of madness: "Tear me apart? Haha... You think you can defeat me like this? You self-righteous heroes don't understand the truth of this world at all!"

He strained to stand, supporting himself with one hand on the ground. Black energy condensed in his palm, emitting a deep hum. "The strong never fall, and I... I am the one who sets the rules!"

Cheng Yaowen frowned, and the earth elemental power in his hand condensed again, causing the ground to tremble slightly, as if a storm could break out at any moment.

He said in a deep voice, "Yunming, you keep saying that the strong make the rules, but look at yourself now, like a stray dog. What rules are you talking about? What has your power brought? Only destruction and suffering!"

"destroy?"

Simulated Yunming sneered, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, "Destruction is part of rebirth! This world is already corrupt; only through complete destruction can an order belonging to the strong be rebuilt! You weaklings have no right to criticize me!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and a black energy wave swept out, heading straight for Rose and the other two.

Rose reacted extremely quickly, her figure flashed, and her purple longsword drew an arc in the air, splitting the energy wave in two. The remaining energy exploded in the air, emitting a piercing roar.

She scoffed, "Rebirth? Your rebirth means displacing innocent people and plunging the world into chaos? Yunming, you've gone mad!"

Ato wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, slightly raised the sharp blade in his hand, and his eyes burned with anger: "Don't waste your breath on him, Rose."

This guy's mind has long been corrupted by darkness; he can't hear any reason.

He looked at Cheng Yaowen and whispered, "Yaowen, get ready, we're going to give him the final blow!"

Cheng Yaowen nodded, then slammed his hands down on the ground. Earth elemental power surged forth like a tide, causing the ground to tremble violently. Earthen walls rose up, trapping the simulated Yunming in the center.

Rose and Atuo exchanged a glance, then leaped up simultaneously. Their purple longswords and blades clashed in the air, creating two dazzling beams of light as they hurtled towards the simulated Yunming.

"You...don't even think about it!"

Simulating Yunming's roar, black energy erupted around him, forming a huge shield in an attempt to withstand the three people's attacks.

However, his power was nearly exhausted in the energy torrent just now, and his shield was extremely fragile. In just a moment, it crumbled inch by inch under the sword light of Rose and the sharp blade of Atto.

"boom!"

A deafening roar shook the heavens, the shield shattered completely, and the simulated Yunming's body was struck by sword light and sharp blades, flying out again and crashing into a boulder. The boulder instantly cracked and turned into dust.

Rose slowly fell to the ground, the sword tip lowered, and her gaze coldly fixed on Yunming on the ground.

She didn't rush forward immediately, but whispered to the two people beside her, "Be careful, he's not quite dead yet."

This guy is very cunning; don't give him a chance to turn the tables.

Cheng Yaowen said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I used earth element to seal the surrounding energy fluctuations, he can't escape."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Yun Ming, a hint of weariness in his voice, "This guy... is really too troublesome."

Ato gripped his blade tightly, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit: "So what if he's troublesome? He must die here today! Rose, what do you say? Should I just give him a stab right now and finish him off?"

Rose frowned slightly, her gaze lingering on Yunming for a moment before she shook her head: "No rush, let's check his condition first."

This guy always has a backup plan; I don't want to fall for his tricks again.

She approached slowly, her sword tip always on guard, her tone icy, "Yunming, do you have any last words? Or do you still want to make a last stand?"

Simulated Yunming chuckled softly, a hoarse and grating laugh, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat in despair: "Last words? Haha... You think you can change the fate of this world by defeating me? You're too naive..."

He struggled to lift his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "My power has long been rooted in every corner of this world."

Even if you kill me, you're just cutting down a tree; the forest will keep growing!

Rose's eyes narrowed, and the tip of her sword suddenly approached, only an inch away from Yunming's throat: "Stop playing tricks! Your power has collapsed, and your allies have long since scattered and fled."

You're at your last gasp; who are you trying to scare?

"frighten?"

Yunming grinned, revealing his bloodstained teeth. "Rose, you're still as confident as ever."

But do you know what? The power of darkness has never been mine alone.

It exists in every resentful soul that yearns for power.

Even if you kill me, countless 'Yunming's' will rise up and continue my cause!

Cheng Yaowen snorted coldly, the ground trembled slightly, and the earthen wall tightened inward, surrounding Yun Ming even more closely: "No matter how nicely you speak, it cannot change the fact that you have failed."

Your allies? They were all utterly defeated by us long ago, and they don't even dare to show their faces.

You still expect them to come and save you?

Ato impatiently brandished his blade, his tone laced with sarcasm: "This guy's just being stubborn, Yaowen, don't waste your breath on him."

"One stab and he won't be able to utter a sound!"

"and many more."

Rose raised her hand to stop him, her gaze still fixed on Yunming: "Don't rush, Atuo."

Rose's voice was calm and firm, her gaze sharp as a knife as she stared at Yunming, "We have to make sure he has no chance to turn the tables."

His dark energy is too strange; we must not be careless.

Simulated Yunming chuckled, his voice weak yet still defiant: "A comeback? You think I have no backup plan? Haha... My power has already spread throughout this world, you can never eradicate it!"

He tried to sit up, but his body collapsed limply, a glint of despair flashing in his eyes.

Cheng Yaowen frowned, earth elemental power gathering in his palm, and said in a low voice, "His words are all bluff."

Yaowen, seal off the surrounding energy fluctuations; don't give him any chance.

Ato sneered, a sharp blade flashing in his hand, exuding murderous intent: "This guy is a madman, Rose."

Let me finish him off right now!

Rose shook her head slightly, the tip of her sword still pointing at Yunming: "First, confirm his condition."

His strength is too dangerous; he cannot afford to give him any respite.

The simulated Yunming's laughter grew even hoarser, tinged with a hint of madness: "You self-proclaimed righteous fools will never understand true power! You think you've won? This war... has only just begun!"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a faint ball of black energy condensed in his palm, as if in a final struggle.

Rose's eyes sharpened, and she moved like lightning, her purple longsword instantly severing the energy ball, the sword light drawing a cold glint in the air.

She said coldly, "Your war is over, Yunming."

Cheng Yaowen pressed his hands to the ground, and the earthen wall slammed shut, forming an unbreakable cage that trapped Yun Ming tightly. Ato stepped forward, his blade raised high, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent: "Any last words? Speak!"

A hint of fear finally appeared in Yunming's eyes, but he still forced a cold laugh: "You... can never... destroy the darkness... it's in your hearts!"

His voice gradually weakened, but his body still tried to get up. The energy gathered in his palm flickered like a dying flame.

Rose stared coldly at him, the tip of her sword close to his throat: "Your darkness will only destroy you."

She turned to look at Cheng Yaowen and Atuo, "Yaowen, seal off his energy channels."

Ato, prepare for the final blow.

Cheng Yaowen replied in a deep voice, "It's already sealed off."

He can't escape.

He clasped his hands together, and earth elemental power surged like a tide, causing the ground to tremble and completely locking Yunming in place.

Atuo's blade flashed through the air, his voice icy: "This time you have no chance to escape, Yunming."

He looked at Rose, awaiting her final instructions.

Rose's gaze was icy as she slowly said, "Yunming, your end has come."

She raised her longsword, and a brilliant purple light shone forth, her sword intent as powerful as a rainbow.

The simulated Yunming's laughter stopped abruptly, and despair finally appeared in his eyes.

He whispered, "You...you'll regret this..."

Before the words were even finished, Rose's sword light had already fallen, slashing down at the same time as Atto's blade.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, energy erupted, and Yunming's body was completely shattered by the sword light and sharp blades. The black energy dissipated like smoke.

He lay on the ground, lifeless, his tattered robes fluttering in the wind, like the remnants of his unfulfilled ambitions.

Rose sheathed her sword, her gaze turning cold. She surveyed the surroundings and said in a low voice, "Check him to make sure he's completely dead."

Cheng Yaowen crouched down to check Yun Ming's breathing and said in a deep voice, "He's not breathing."

His energy fluctuations completely disappeared.

Atto sheathed his blade and exhaled, "This guy is finally dead."

He looked at Rose with a hint of respect in his eyes, "Your sword strike was truly beautiful."

Rose nodded slightly, but her gaze remained wary: "This is just the beginning."

Yunming is right; there may still be remnants of his dark power.

We need to clean it up.

Cheng Yaowen stood up and dusted off his hands: "I will notify everyone to thoroughly investigate his remaining associates."

Yaowen, Qiangwei, what do you say?

Rose turned around, gazing at the distant horizon, her voice low and somber: "Yes, we must not let his will continue to wreak havoc."

She paused, her gaze resolute, "This war is not over yet."

As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated, the simulated corpse of Yunming lay amidst the chaos on the ravaged ground, the air thick with the chilling atmosphere of post-battle death.

Rose stood still, her purple longsword already sheathed, but her hand still gripped the hilt tightly, her cold gaze sweeping across her surroundings as if to confirm whether there were any undetected threats.

Cheng Yaowen and Ato stood beside her, each abandoning their fighting stances, but the fatigue and vigilance on their faces were still clearly visible.

"Yaowen, check the surrounding energy field."

Rose's voice was deep and calm, with an undeniable air of authority: "Although Yunming's forces have been destroyed by us, his remaining followers may still be lurking in the shadows."

Cheng Yaowen nodded, pressed his hands to the ground, and the power of earth element spread out like ripples, probing every inch of the surrounding land.

His brow furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "There are no abnormal fluctuations."

His energy core has been completely destroyed by us; the area should be safe now.

Ato snorted coldly, twirling the blade in his hand, his tone laced with disdain: "This guy's stubbornness to the very end, thinking he can scare us? Hmph, dark power? Nothing but shady tricks."

Rose shifted her gaze from Yunming's corpse to the distant horizon, her tone calm yet tinged with heaviness: "While it's satisfying, his words make me uneasy."

Although we defeated his dark forces, will his ideology... that fanatical worship of power, really disappear so easily?

Cheng Yaowen stood up, dusted off his hands, and said in a low voice, "Are you worried about his remaining followers? Don't worry, I've already notified the support troops in the rear. They will conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that his forces are completely dismantled."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Rose, his tone tinged with concern, "Are you alright? That battle was too fierce."

Rose shook her head slightly, a tired smile on her face: "I'm fine, it's just... I feel like this victory came too quickly."

She turned around, her gaze falling on Ato. "Ato, were you also holding back a lot of anger when you stabbed him just now?"

Ato grinned, revealing a hint of arrogance: "Of course! How many people has this guy harmed? I really put all my strength into that stab!"

He sheathed his blade, his tone softening slightly, "However, Rose, that sword strike of yours was truly ruthless. He probably never imagined he would suffer such a terrible defeat."

Rose's gaze darkened, and she said in a low voice, "He is not the first, nor will he be the last."

As long as there is resentment and greed in this world, new 'Yunming' will emerge.

She looked at the two of them, her tone firm, "We need to be prepared; the battles ahead will only be more difficult."

Cheng Yaowen frowned, his tone heavy: "You're right."

His allies, the dark forces scattered across the land, may still be stirring.

We have to uproot them completely.

He paused, a hint of warmth flashing in his eyes, "However, with you here, we all feel reassured."

Ato patted Cheng Yaowen on the shoulder and grinned, "Come on, Yaowen, stop praising her."

"Our teamwork wasn't bad, was it? Just now, the earthen wall sealed us off completely; he didn't even have a chance to run!"

Rose's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rare smile: "You two are both quite good."

She paused, her gaze sweeping back to Yunming's corpse. "But we cannot let our guard down."

Although his power has vanished, his will may still take root and sprout in the hearts of some.

Cheng Yaowen nodded, a slight surge of earth elemental power flowing between his hands, as if he were ready to deal with a new threat at any time: "I will personally lead the team to drag out his remaining followers one by one."

"Rose, don't worry."
