Chapter 462 Split up
Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao exchanged glances and nodded, their eyes revealing a resolute determination to face death. They knew that their respective sealing techniques, limited by their realms, would be ineffective against Xu Tian's uncontrolled power. Only by combining their efforts, risking their lives, could they hope to recapture this raging beast. "Don't worry, we'll do our best." Ming Zeshu's voice was steady, carrying a reassuring force. Ding Junhao tightened the magical weapon in his hand. Without saying a word, his resolute gaze expressed his resolve.
As they drew closer to Xu Tian, the city's devastation became increasingly horrifying. Amidst the shattered walls and ruins, the acrid smell of smoke and blood hung thickly. The once bustling streets were now reduced to rubble. From within the ruins, the groans of the wounded and the cries of the survivors echoed, weaving a heartbreaking melody.
Nearing Xu Tian's location, Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao flashed and leaped from the rooftop like two falling leaves, landing steadily on the ground. They quickly found their spots, each sitting cross-legged, their hands rapidly forming seals and muttering something. Instantly, the air around them seemed stirred by an invisible force, rippling with waves. Mysterious runes loomed around them, shimmering with light, gradually converging into a massive sealing array.
Gao Jinghao, like a flash of black lightning, rushed straight at Xu Tian without hesitation. The wind whistled in his ears, and the rustling of his clothes seemed to cheer him on. When he reached Xu Tian, the scene before him made his heart sink. The city he once knew was now shattered beyond recognition. Everywhere he looked, there were shattered walls and burning ruins. He estimated that Xu Tian had destroyed a third of the city. If he couldn't stop him, perhaps after sunset today, this city, which held the memories and hopes of countless people, would be completely gone from the world.
Xu Tian sensed Gao Jinghao's arrival, and a bloodthirsty glint flashed across his previously empty and frantic eyes. He roared like a wild beast, the sound making the air around him buzz, and then, like a mad beast, he pounced madly at Gao Jinghao. Gao Jinghao thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly dodged to the side. Xu Tian's fist brushed past the corner of his clothes with a whistling sound, and smashed into the wall next to him, instantly smashing a huge hole in the thick wall. "What a monster!" Gao Jinghao cursed inwardly. After a whole night of tossing and turning, Xu Tian's strength had not weakened at all, but instead became even more violent.
Seeing that his attack had missed, Xu Tian became even more furious. He swung his arms continuously, launching a barrage of attacks at Gao Jinghao like a torrential rain. Gao Jinghao was agile, dodging left and right, narrowly avoiding Xu Tian's attacks time and time again. However, Xu Tian's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Gao Jinghao gradually felt a little tired.
After several attacks were dodged, Xu Tian went completely berserk. He roared to the heavens, and the Qi in his body surged wildly, instantly condensing into a dazzling Qi streak, which shot fiercely at Gao Jinghao. Gao Jinghao's eyes flashed, and he quickly used his body skills to dodge. The Qi streak flew past his body, and the moment it hit the ground, it erupted with a deafening roar. The powerful impact kicked up a cloud of dust and debris, and the explosion area continued to expand. Gao Jinghao was still in the air, and had not yet landed, but Xu Tian reached him with incredible speed, raised his arm, and smashed down on him.
Gao Jinghao had no choice but to face the blow head-on. "Bang!" Their fists collided heavily, making a dull thud. Gao Jinghao felt a surge of force from the opponent's fist, numbing his arm and causing the entire city to tremble. His body was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, tumbling several times in the air before he could finally steady himself.
"Hmph, is that all you can do?" Gao Jinghao challenged, enduring the pain in his arm. He knew he had to provoke Xu Tian and lure him into the seal set up by Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao.
Xu Tian, enraged, rushed at Gao Jinghao once again. Unable to resist, Gao Jinghao engaged in a roving struggle. The two exchanged blows, weaving through the rubble. Gao Jinghao skillfully used the surrounding wreckage for cover, constantly shifting positions while observing Xu Tian's attacks for flaws. Xu Tian, completely disregarding his own safety, attacked relentlessly, each strike carrying the power of destruction.
After three punches and two kicks, Gao Jinghao seized the opportunity and swerved sideways, widening the distance between him and Xu Tian. He quickly drew the sword from his waist, its blade gleaming with a cold light, emitting an icy aura in the dim light. Ancient runes were engraved on the blade, as if telling of its past glory and honor. "Come on, today is your end!" Gao Jinghao shouted, charging towards Xu Tian once again, engaging him in a fierce battle.
Meanwhile, Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao's preparations for the sealing technique had reached their final, crucial moments. Beads of sweat covered their foreheads, their faces pale from exhaustion. But their gazes remained unwavering, their hand seals shifting with increasing speed. The surrounding space seemed warped by a powerful force, and a mysterious and menacing aura permeated the air. Mysterious runes whirled rapidly around them, their light growing ever brighter. The entire sealing formation was poised for action. They only needed Gao Jinghao to lure Xu Tian into the formation, and then they would activate the sealing technique, bringing this horrific disaster to an end.
Atop the ruins, the battle between Gao Jinghao and Xu Tian intensified. Relying on his masterful swordsmanship and agile movements, Gao Jinghao temporarily held Xu Tian to a stalemate. His sword strikes were sharp, each swing emitting a chilling gleam as he sought to find a flaw in Xu Tian's ferocious attacks. Xu Tian, relying on his immense strength and frenzied momentum, repeatedly broke through Gao Jinghao's defenses.
In the distance, the city's surviving citizens hid in corners, their eyes filled with fear and anticipation, nervously watching the battle that would determine their fate. Their hearts were filled with trust in Gao Jinghao and his men, and hope for the future, praying that this nightmare would soon end. Some clenched their fists, cheering Gao Jinghao on; others silently shed tears, grieving for the fate of their city.
As Gao Jinghao fought, he approached Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao, keeping a close eye on their preparations. He knew time was running out and he had to lure Xu Tian over as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao's sealing technique took too long to prepare and consumed too much energy, even if Xu Tian entered the formation, they might not be able to seal him successfully.
