Su Xun's figure disappeared completely into the darkness, like a drop of water falling into ink, his very presence vanishing without a trace, as if swallowed up by the night itself.

"Visual deprivation"

Su Xun murmured to himself, and a layer of pale purple, almost invisible spiritual aura quietly spread out from his body, passing through Ye Mingdian's body in an instant. A cloud of black mist directly enveloped Ye Mingdian's eyes, and his vision instantly became pitch black.

"roar--!"

In that instant, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air! Cang Yi, standing to the side, was no longer in human form.

A beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, and amidst the cracking of bones, a gigantic skeleton, ten meters tall and shrouded in ominous blood mist, appeared in the world.

Its empty eye sockets burned with scarlet soul fire, and its right claw suddenly rose. The bloody smell that permeated the surrounding air and some kind of suffocating poison frantically converged and condensed into a dark red claw shadow that blotted out the sky.

"Blood Claw!"

A hoarse roar accompanied by a piercing sound of tearing air, and the giant skeletal claw swung down! Three crescent-shaped, dark red blood blades slashed out in a triangular pattern.

Ye Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly exerted force with his feet, causing the ground to explode! He dodged to the side, and at that moment, a dark shadow on the ground quickly moved towards the direction Ye Ming had dodged.

"Whoosh—Boom!!"

The blood-red blade slashed into the forest ahead. There was no violent explosion, but it was like a hot knife cutting into butter, silently carving out three deep, dark ravines.

Immediately afterwards, thick, viscous, toxic blood gushed from the ravine, frantically corroding the surrounding soil and trees.

A pungent, blood-red fumes, mixed with the stench of rotting flesh, rose into the sky, hissing and making a chilling sound.

The poisonous smoke filled the air, further impairing his vision. Just as Ye Ming was about to land, the pursuing shadow suddenly extended several black arms and grabbed Ye Ming's right foot.

"Got you!"

Then the black arm suddenly pulled, trying to drag Ye Ming into the world of shadows.

In an instant, Ye Ming's right foot gathered Armament Haki, and using the force of the opponent's pull, he slammed down onto the ground.

"Divine speed!"

With a low shout, he stomped down hard with his right foot!

"Bang--!!!"

A dull thud, like a meteorite crashing to the ground, resounded. Centered on his toes, the ground within a fifty-meter radius was struck as if by an invisible, massive hammer, suddenly caved in, compacted, and shattered! A clear shockwave, mixed with fragments of rock, exploded outwards in a ring, scattering all the trees within a 100-meter radius.

"Ugh—!"

A muffled groan came from the shadows on the ground. A blurry black shadow was seen staggering out as if struck by a heavy blow, retreating backward at a speed far exceeding its previous speed, like a frightened mouse. Nightfall's vision also returned.
