Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 134 Crisis
The Loy Empire and the Shura Empire have temporarily united to fight the men in black; they are now their common enemy. The first wave of attacks inflicted heavy damage on the men in black.

Blue Sky's attack had some effect; the men in black were now unable to retaliate and were desperately defending themselves. Just when everyone thought victory was within reach, a member of the opposing black-clad forces retaliated—a suicide bomber. While defending, he detonated, and the massive shockwave blocked further attacks.

The opponent's self-destruction gave them a brief opportunity to regroup. Now, they launched a full-scale attack, retaliating against Lan Tian and his group with a barrage of elemental skills that rained down on their ranks. A full-scale defense was no longer possible, and everyone withstood the attack, though they were all seriously injured!

The men in black gave everyone no chance to breathe; it was a desperate fight, and another wave of attacks was imminent. This time, everyone could only defend with all their might, daring not to slacken in the slightest, bringing out their best to defend against the combined attack of the men in black. This wasn't a competition; this was a battle. No one could afford to take too many injuries, or it would be disastrous if they were wiped out in one fell swoop!
The men in black attacked again. They outnumbered Lan Tian and his group, and at this moment, they completely overwhelmed them, giving them no chance to breathe! They unleashed a barrage of attribute skills, all from ninth-tier experts. For a time, everyone was overwhelmed and unable to lift their heads, unable to see the enemy's location. They could only defend themselves, trying to avoid being completely defeated and to create an opportunity to counterattack.

Lan Tian's spatial and temporal abilities were unparalleled, reaching a level of mastery that was second to none. Now, under these circumstances, was the perfect opportunity to unleash his spatial and temporal powers. In his desperate defense, Lan Tian summoned the Dark Divine Sword, which could absorb all energy for its own use, enhancing the sword's offensive capabilities.

A divine light flashed, and the Dark Divine Sword appeared in Lan Tian's hands. He gripped the sword tightly with both hands, activated his spacetime ability, and instantly disappeared. When Lan Tian reappeared, he was already behind the men in black, clearly taking in all of them. Their positions and actions were completely exposed to Lan Tian.

The men in black were attacking with all their might, unaware of the greatest danger lurking behind them. Lan Tian had already begun unleashing the strongest attack of the Dark Divine Sword upon them.

"boom"

The attack power of the Dark Divine Sword swept past the man in black with a chilling aura. The powerful energy fluctuations were dark and oppressive, leaving no survivors in its path and absorbing all energy for its own use.

The sudden attack from the dark sword wiped out the unprepared men in black behind them, along with the entire group. Seven or eight people were instantly absorbed by the blue sky, leaving not a trace of energy behind.

Caught off guard by the sneak attack, the remaining men in black changed their tactics, turning back to focus their attacks on Blue Sky and doing everything in their power to defend against the Dark Sword and prevent it from harming anyone else.

Little did they know, the Dark Divine Sword of the Blue Sky was an ancient artifact. After continuously absorbing the energy of its fallen comrades, its power increased, the sword blade gleamed, and a dark power swirled around it, making it sinister and terrifying.

Lan Tian gripped the divine sword tightly with both hands once more, unleashing immense power as he swept it horizontally, aiming directly at the man in black.

While Blue Sky was attacking, Elante and his men launched a coordinated attack from behind the men in black, putting them in a pincer movement. This caught the men in black off guard and left them bewildered.

Besieged on all sides and caught in a dilemma, these men in black could only passively defend themselves. The Dark Divine Sword of the Blue Sky had unleashed its strongest attack! The two men in black in front had their defenses eroded by the sword, which penetrated their bodies, absorbing and converting the energy into its own, rapidly merging it into the sword's power. Blue Sky had completely turned the tide of the battle, pinning the men in black firmly to the spot, devouring them one by one. Attacked from both sides, with no way to escape, the men in black were now in a panic! Watching their companions being devoured by Blue Sky's divine sword, leaving nothing behind, they were terrified, their hearts filled with unbearable fear, and they were on the verge of despair.

Seeing that the situation was changing too quickly, the men in black had no power to resist. Now there were only seven or eight of them left, and they were trying to leave quickly. The leader was already preparing to escape.

Lan Tian saw through the black-clad men's intentions and seized the opportunity to escape, but they couldn't be allowed to get away with it. This group's origins were unknown; their identities needed to be investigated, and who had sent them to target everyone.

"We can't let these men in black escape; they must be alive," Lan Tian shouted to everyone.

The other party also heard Lan Tian's words and realized that they might not be able to leave now. However, their master had given a death order: they must obtain the key to the Holy Mountain and take control, or they would die a horrible death and bring ruin upon their families.

Now, the men in black had no hope left. They were ready to die and wanted to perish together with everyone. They were all eager to self-destruct, so that no one could get out and they would be buried here forever.

This caused panic among everyone. If they all self-destructed at the same time, no one present would be able to get out; they would all be affected and reduced to ashes. This was not the outcome that Lan Tian and the others wanted. They had to do everything in their power to stop them from self-destructing together. If all eight of them self-destructed at the same time, the power would be unbearable for everyone, and they would all be affected, with no chance of survival.

Now, everyone is wondering whether the arena they are in can withstand the energy impact of the black-clad men's self-destruction, and whether it will destroy the entire Holy Mountain. Everyone knows what the consequences will be.

"Yingying, have your attribute skills recovered? Can you stop them from self-destructing together?" Lantian secretly transmitted his voice to Yi Mengying, to see if she could prevent them from self-destructing together.

"Brother Lantian, I have suffered heavy energy loss and am no longer able to launch attribute skill attacks. It will take a day to slowly recover. There is nothing I can do for you right now," Yi Mengying said to Lantian.

Yi Mengying couldn't stop them either. What should she do now? Time was of the essence; she couldn't give the men in black the chance to carry out their plan.

Is there nothing we can do now?! Lan Tian couldn't think of a solution either. He saw the men in black gradually gathering together, about to threaten suicide, to take everyone down with them in a self-destructive explosion. This force was enough to destroy everything here, possibly even the entire Holy Mountain. Would the five guardians agree to this? Wouldn't the defenses here withstand such attacks?… Lan Tian kept asking himself these questions, wondering how he could resolve this situation.
