Chapter 412 Divine Artifacts Assemble to Face a Fierce Enemy; Laughter and Twists and Turns as the B

Divine weapons assembled to face a formidable foe; laughter and twists and turns as the battle rages on.

As the evil wizard's arrogant voice echoed through the castle, the entire castle shook violently as if struck by an earthquake. Stones rained down from the ceiling, splashing dust as they hit the ground, forcing everyone to scatter for cover.

Suddenly, a small stone hit Pigsy on the head, making him cry out in pain. He couldn't help but curse, "That despicable wizard is ruining my plans again! When I catch him, I'll pluck out every single one of his lousy whiskers and show him what I, Pigsy, am capable of!"

While dodging the falling stones, Xiaoqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bajie, stop thinking about plucking his beard and hurry up and figure out how to deal with this wizard. Judging from his posture, he must have come prepared this time. We can't let our guard down."

Liu Yu gripped the faintly glowing sword in his hand tightly, his expression solemn. He said loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! We now possess three divine artifacts, and our strength is vastly different from before. As long as we unite, there's nothing to fear. However, we must be even more careful this time."

Fahai clasped his hands together, his face solemn and dignified, and slowly said, "Amitabha, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and evil will never prevail over good; this is the law of heaven. We will surely be able to subdue this evil sorcerer and restore peace to the world."

Er Gou rolled to his feet, quickly brushed off the thick layer of dust, and said, "Yeah, we can definitely do it! But this wizard is unpredictable; we never know which corner he'll pop up from next."

As soon as the words were spoken, a massive black vortex appeared out of nowhere in the center of the castle hall. The vortex spun rapidly, making a whooshing sound, emanating a chilling dark aura that seemed poised to devour everything around it. The evil wizard, clad in black robes, emerged slowly from the vortex like a ghost. His wand gleamed with an eerie light, and a sinister, triumphant smile graced his face.

"You bunch of fools who don't know their own mortality, thinking you can stand against me just because you found a few broken artifacts? Today is your death day!" The evil wizard laughed wildly and swung his wand violently. In an instant, thick black lightning bolts shot out from the tip of the wand like venomous snakes, striking down at the crowd with lightning speed.

Pigsy reacted swiftly, immediately raising his protective shield high and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Everyone hide behind me! Let's see if this precious shield can withstand his trickery!" Black lightning struck the shield fiercely, instantly erupting in a series of crackling sounds and countless dazzling sparks flying everywhere. But miraculously, the shield remained firmly in front of everyone, emitting a soft yet resilient light, forming an unbreakable defensive barrier. No matter how fiercely the lightning raged, it could not advance an inch.

"Well done, Bajie! This shield is truly amazing!" Xiaoqing couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes filled with surprise.

Taking advantage of a lull in the evil wizard's attack, Liu Yu stomped his feet off the ground, charging towards the wizard like a golden meteor. He raised his sword high, a dazzling golden sword aura whistling towards the evil wizard. The evil wizard merely sneered, calmly waving his wand, and an inky black barrier instantly appeared before him. The golden sword aura struck the barrier, easily deflecting only black ripples.

"With such mediocre skills, you dare to show off in front of me?" the evil wizard sneered.

"Hmph, stop being so smug! You'll be crying later!" Pigsy shoved the shield into Fahai's hands and said, "Master Fahai, you hold the shield and protect everyone. I'll go and deal with this old bastard!" With that, he brandished his nine-toothed rake and strode towards the evil wizard like an angry wild boar.

Seeing this, the evil wizard's lips curled into a sly smile. He chanted incantations and rapidly waved his wand, instantly summoning a horde of menacing dark phantoms. These phantoms exuded a sinister aura, their bodies translucent, their eyes flashing with an eerie red light. They let out chilling screams and swarmed towards Pigsy.

Pigsy brandished his nine-toothed rake, charging left and right, the rake's shadow flying everywhere. Although he defeated many ghosts, their numbers were simply too great, surging in like a tide, and he gradually became overwhelmed. The ghosts seized opportunities, occasionally slipping through the gaps in the rake to pounce on Pigsy, trying to drain his life force, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Ugh, these ghosts are like chewing gum, they're really tough to deal with!" Pigsy shouted at the top of his lungs as he struggled to fend them off. "Come and lend a hand!"

Xiaoqing immediately shook the bell, and a clear, melodious sound rang out instantly. A powerful sound wave, like an invisible hurricane, swept towards the horde of ghosts. Wherever the sound wave reached, the ghosts screamed in agony, their bodies twisting and deforming, and many dissipated. However, some ghosts, with their eerie forms, managed to barely withstand the sound wave's attack.

"Bajie, hold on! We're coming to help you!" Liu Yu shouted, exchanging a glance with Er Gou. Without hesitation, the two charged into the horde of ghosts, fighting alongside Zhu Bajie. Fahai, meanwhile, remained at the rear, intently protecting everyone with his protective shield while chanting incantations and unleashing Buddhist light. The golden light, like warm sunshine, bathed everyone, not only enhancing their strength but also slowing down and greatly weakening the dark ghosts.

With everyone's combined efforts, the dark phantoms were gradually eliminated. Seeing his summoned phantoms so easily neutralized, the evil wizard's previously smug expression instantly turned ashen, his eyes blazing with fury.

"You do have some skill, but this is just an appetizer. The real show is yet to come!" the evil wizard said viciously, slamming his wand into the ground. Instantly, the ground trembled violently as if boiling water had been poured into it, and terrifying black cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb. Then, from the cracks emerged numerous dark monsters of various shapes. Some resembled giant spiders, covered in sharp spines, their eight eyes gleaming with bloodlust; others were like winged lizards, their wings covered in eerie runes, constantly spewing green venom from their mouths; still others were humanoid, but with twisted limbs and ferocious faces, wielding weapons that exuded a dark aura. They opened their blood-red maws, letting out chilling roars, and pounced madly on the group.

"Good heavens, so many strange and bizarre monsters!" Pigsy shouted, showing no fear whatsoever. "Perfect timing! I haven't had my fill of fighting yet! Today I'll take care of all of you ugly monsters!"

Liu Yu quickly observed the monsters and noticed that although they were numerous and large, they moved rather slowly, and some parts of their bodies, such as their eyes and joints, seemed relatively vulnerable. He immediately shouted, "Everyone, coordinate your attacks! Attack their eyes or joints; those are easier to break through!"

With that, Liu Yu charged towards a spider-like monster. His movements were lightning-fast; in the blink of an eye, he was before the monster, his sword raised high, aiming precisely for its eye. The monster cried out in pain, letting out a piercing scream that seemed to shatter everyone's eardrums. It furiously lashed out with its claws, clawing wildly at Liu Yu. Liu Yu dodged the attack with a nimble movement, simultaneously searching for his next opportunity to strike.

Pigsy then engaged in a fierce battle with a lizard demon. He swung his nine-toothed rake and slammed it hard into the lizard demon's back. With a clang, it was as if he had hit an iron plate. The demon's scales were very hard, leaving only a shallow mark.

"These scales are like iron, so thick!" Pigsy muttered, his brow furrowed. "Watch me flip it over and attack its belly!" With that, Pigsy seized an opening in the lizard monster's attack, swung his rake forcefully, and precisely hooked the lizard monster's leg. Then, with a sudden jerk, he flipped the lizard monster to the ground. Immediately afterward, he pounded the lizard monster's soft belly repeatedly, until the monster's belly was a bloody mess, emitting painful howls.

Xiaoqing stood to the side, constantly shaking a bell, emitting sound waves of various frequencies. Some sound waves made the monsters dizzy and slowed their movements; others interfered with their senses, preventing them from accurately judging the group's location and creating excellent opportunities for them to attack.

Er Gou, with his agile skills, moved through the monster horde with ease. Like a nimble little mouse, he specifically sought out lone or wounded monsters, seizing the opportune moment to deliver a fatal blow with his sharp dagger. Whenever he successfully struck a monster's vital point, the monster would let out a scream and then collapse to the ground with a thud.

Fahai maintained the defensive shield from the rear, ensuring no one was attacked by any stragglers, while simultaneously unleashing Buddhist light. This light, like a warm and powerful source of energy, not only harmed the demons, causing them to struggle in agony within its glow, but also restored the group's strength. Bathed in this light, everyone felt brimming with power, as if possessing inexhaustible energy, and fought with even greater courage and fearlessness.

After a fierce and desperate battle, the dark monsters gradually succumbed to the onslaught and collapsed, turning into puddles of black liquid. The evil wizard, seeing his summoned monsters wiped out, flew into a rage, his facial muscles contorting into a grotesque grimace, like a crazed beast.

"You vile wretches, I will make you pay a terrible price!" the evil wizard roared madly, raising his wand high and chanting incantations. In an instant, a massive black magic circle appeared in the sky. The circle emanated an incredibly powerful, suffocating dark force, like a giant black hole, seemingly about to devour the entire world. The dark power surged and churned, about to crash down upon the group.

"Oh no! This force is too powerful! We can't stop it at all!" Liu Yu shouted, his face pale, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety and despair.

Just when everyone was in despair, a miracle occurred. The Ring of Hope, the Sword, and the Shield of Protection seemed to sense their crisis and suddenly emitted a strong and dazzling light simultaneously. The light from the three artifacts intertwined and merged, forming a huge and sturdy protective barrier, like a giant, radiant eggshell, tightly enveloping everyone within it.

The black magic circle, carrying devastating power, slammed into the protective barrier with a deafening roar. The entire castle shook violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse. Light and darkness clashed, locked in a stalemate. Powerful energy surges spread outwards like raging waves, shattering walls, tables, chairs, and other objects in the vicinity.

"Everyone, concentrate and stabilize the power of the artifact! Don't let your guard down!" Liu Yu shouted, his voice firm and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears like a resounding bell. Everyone closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and concentrated all their energy, pouring their power into the artifact without reservation.

Pigsy's face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I, Pigsy, have used every ounce of strength I have, but this wizard is truly ruthless! I refuse to believe we can't stop him!"

Large beads of sweat covered Xiaoqing's forehead, sliding down her cheeks, but her eyes were firm as she said, "Hang in there, we can do it! If we work together, we will definitely defeat this evil force!"

Fahai chanted incantations, his voice deep and solemn, and the Buddhist light grew even stronger, dazzling like the sun. He infused his powerful spiritual energy into the protective barrier of the artifact, adding to its resilience and sacredness.

Although Er Gou was small in stature, he gave it his all. He closed his eyes tightly, his face filled with determination, pouring his meager but firm strength into them.
